Q:
What should a Muslim do when they travel on a long journey and the time of the obligatory Salah (Prayer) becomes due while they are on the bus?
Should he perform Salah by making gestures or perform it when they arrive?
A:
If the time of the obligatory Salah becomes due while a Muslim is traveling by bus, and this Salah can be combined with the one following it, such as Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer (Part No. 6; Page No. 463) with ‘Asr (Afternoon) Prayer or Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer with ‘Isha’ (Night) Prayer, they should make the intention to combine the two Salahs, and after getting off the bus should perform the Salah with the one following it. If the Salah cannot be combined with the following one, such as Fajr (Dawn) Prayer, or ‘Asr and ‘Isha’ Prayers and the bus will not stop until the prescribed time expires, then they should perform it on board of the bus, according to their ability. And Allah knows best.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
