The Kaaba is on the earth. If we prayed in the space, how would we pray? Submitted by on Fri, 29/10/2010 - 07:06
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Questions like that had been directed at previous scholars; for instance, how to pray and fast in the poles. In general, the decree about issues like that is as follows: If the time for prayers and fasting does not occur in places where we live, we are to act in accordance with the times for the countries on the same meridian; or, if we are in the space, we are to act in accordance with the calendar of Makkah in terms of prayers and fasting.
It is enough to turn to the direction of the world while praying.
