#201: Ruling on Salat in Traffic 2
QUESTION
FURTHER ON OBSERVING SALAT IN A HOLD UP
“Assalamualaikum, please on observing salat in a holdup, what about when a woman is sitting next to you or at your front or even atimes when music is been played inside the vehicle…?”
ANSWER:
Alhamdulillaah!
May Allah – Ta’aala – reward you for your love for Ilm, aameen.
If you understood well the answer we gave on this matter, we explained that that verdict (fatwa) only holds in a deperate situation where delay would mean the lapsing of the time for the Salaat.
If that is understood, then it becomes apparent that the presence of a woman in your front or the playing of music in the environment does not affect this fatwa because it is a desperate situation.
And we mentioned that it is not applicable for someone who could manage to observe his Salaat outside the hold-up or observe it before embarking on the drive, or observe it when he alights as long as the stipulated time does not elapse.
Allaahu A’alam!
Baarakallaahu feekum!
