Calling out the Azaan and performing Salaah on a ship

· 2 Safar 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I would be leaving my country and will travel in a ship as I got selected for the Navy. I want to know on what timings I can perform Salaah on the ship as there would be no Adhaan. So, please answer on what timings to pray Salaah while travelling on a ship and if I miss Friday Salaah, how can I repent.

Answer

You will call out the azaan on your own and perform the namaaz.

You do not have to perform Friday salaah on a ship. You should read Zuhr. Insha-Allah you will not be deprived of any reward.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

How do I pray on a plane, ship or train?

“Performing fard salaah on the plane seat is not valid for the person who has the ability to stand and perform salaah. Hence, the salaah performed on the plane seat was not valid and one's fard did not take place.”
