Muslims  always abide by this rule when they can. In situations where the Qiblah  cannot be determined, they may face any direction they reasonably think  the Qiblah lies. However, once a person has determined the direction and  started praying, he will have fulfilled the obligation upon him. The  Almighty does not burden the believers with unbearable responsibilities.  There is a golden principle in the Islamic Shari\u2018ah that none would be  asked to do beyond what is humanly possible. This is why Muslim scholars  say that one can keep on praying without giving attention to which way  one happens to face in prayer while travelling in a ship. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-07<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5928\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can one determine the Qiblah direction while praying in a moving ship?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1158],"tags":[1159,1476,1477],"class_list":["post-5928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-worship-rituals","tag-prayer","tag-qiblah","tag-ship"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
