  • Fard Salah While Sitting Inside Car In Non-Muslim Countries If No Nearby Mosque?

    Posted by Umar Hakeem on August 13, 2023 at 5:50 pm

    Can Faraz namaz be prayed while sitting inside the car (using ishara) in non Muslim countries (like USA) in absence of nearby mosque? Or will Faraz namaz require that it should be prayed while standing (outside the car)?

    Thank you very much for the reply. The video describes the situation when a person is traveling in a car (and car cannot be stopped) and so the person can pray in the moving car.

    But the intention of my question was: in non Muslim countries praying out in public (e.g. in a shopping mall) might not be very feasible. So in that case can someone go to his/her car and pray Faraz namaz while sitting in the car?


    Thank you

    There are places usually available around a mall to say your prayer on the ground. The mosque or praying area is not necessary. If, suppose, no place is available then you can say your prayer anywhere, in the car or while standing.
