Fathwa, - Offering the prayer on a ship is possible

Question
I am a young man who works on a ship. I start my work after the 'Asr
prayer and work until Fajr. I find no time to pray either Maghrib or
'Ishaa' so what should I do in this case? Please respond because we do
not know what to do.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
isHis slave and Messenger.
Establishing the prayer is the second pillar of Islam so it is not
permissible forany Muslim to miss any prayer regardless of his
conditions. He is also not permitted to delay it after the prescribed
time.As for the mentioned case, it is easy to offer prayer as water is
available and it is easy to offer it on board the ship. Therefore,
there is no concession to postpone or combine theprayers unless your
traveling deserves the concession of shortening the prayer. In that
case, you may either make an advanced combining of prayers or delayed.
Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allaah , was asked about
offering prayer on board a ship. The man said: " How could I offer
prayer on a ship?" The Prophet , replied:"Offer it standing unless you
fear drowning. " [Al-Haakim and classed as Saheeh by Al-Albaani[
