Performing Salaah In A Plane And Wearing Ihraam Sewn At The Ends To Avoid Ravelling
Question: Assalamu Alikum,
What is the allowance for Salaah when a person is travelling and the time of Salaah comes upon him but he is still in the air? And for Hajj, is it permissible for a man to wear an Ihram which is sewn at the ends to avoid ravelling? Jazakumullah Khair
Answer: Assalamu Alaikum,
If one is travelling and is in the air at the time of Salaah, then one must perform Salaah while in the plane. It is permissible for a man to wear an Ihram which is (stitched at the ends to avoid ravelling). However it is better to wear an Ihram that has no stiches on it.
And Allah Knows Best.
