Will I be sinful for doing these? Moreover, there are a lot of anti-Muslim incidents happening in the country which gives me fear and prevents me from reading prayers on trains and planes. Please I just want to know if I will be sinful for my current act or if it will be permissible for me until I get enough courage. Please guide me. Should I leave the whole prayer in these situations or just read in my seat (what I am currently doing)? I can&#8217;t read by standing (no matter how much I try).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Answer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">One should perform Salah while standing with proper Ruku and Sajdah, facing the Qiblah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Alternatively, If one has a valid excuse, Salah can be performed sitting on the floor with correct Ruku and Sajdah, facing the Qiblah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If facing the Qiblah is not possible in these two above scenarios, there is a need to repeat the Salah, unless the individual initially attempted to ascertain the Qiblah and later realized the mistake, in which case the Salah is deemed valid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If even these options are challenging due to valid excuses, Salah may be performed while sitting on the seat facing the Qiblah.
