Fathwa, - What counts is the prayertime of the town to which one travelled

Question
On January 13th at 10 pm, I traveled from an American town (in which
the prayer times are: Fajr 6:10 am, Shurooq 8:00 am and Ishaa' 6:40
pm, I reached my destination in Germany on the 14th at 12 pm and the
prayer times there were: Fajr 6:40 am Shurooq 8:10 amand Thuhr 12:30
pm. After finishing procedures, it was 1pm, so the plane departed
after Ishaa' and then arrived after Thuhr. Please note that the
journey took eight hours.How could I offer the Fajrprayer of the
January 14th? Taking into account that the time difference between the
two cities is six hours so that if it is 12 pm in the American town,
it will be 6 pm in the German one. May Allaah Reward you.
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
, is His Slave and Messenger.
The time for Fajr prayer for those travelling by plane starts with the
emergence of the real Fajr. The Fajr time of the destination city or
the one from which they departed does not count.So, if the Fajr time
startedwhile they are in the plane, then they are obliged to offer the
prayer. However, if they could reach their destination before the time
of Fajr ends (i.e. the sun rising), they should wait. But if they fear
that the time will end before they are dropped off, then they must
offer the prayer in the plane as according to what is possible.
Therefore, you did well ifyou offered the prayer inthe plane.
Otherwise, it isconsidered an aspect of negligence that implies
repentance and seeking forgiveness and then youmust make it up at
once.
Allaah Knows best.
