Baqarah 239
239- BUT IF YOU ARE IN FEAR, THEN (PRAY YOUR SALAH) ON FOOT OR RIDING, THEN WHEN YOU ARE SAFE, REMEMBER ALLAH AS HE TAUGHT YOU WHAT YOU DID NOT KNOW.
This Ayah tells us about the extreme importance of Salah. It is our direct contact and worship with Allah and Highest and we should keep at all times and circumstances. Allah the Highest gave us licenses to accommodate different situations in order for us to pray under most circumstances.
There are three situations only in which a person is not held to account before Allah the Highest for missing a Salah. They are mentioned in the following Hadith. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “The pen has been lifted from (not written in his sins) the insane until he recovers, the child until puberty, and the person who is asleep until he wakes up” (B: Talaq; 21 & Da: Hodoud; 1 & A: 1:116 6:100)
The Muslim is supposed to pray even when in fear or in battle. When sick, one may pray sitting down or lying down. There is no time when the Muslims need Allah’s support more than in battle, for Allah’s support is the most important weapon a Muslim has. Allah the Highest said: “IF ALLAH SUPPORTS YOU, NO ONE CAN DEFEAT YOU” (S; 3 A: 160)
In fear, a Muslim man or woman may pray the regular Salah walking or riding, and just nodding. He/she may pray facing whatever direction he is going, and prays only one Rakaa. Ibn Abas may Allah be pleased with him said: “Allah prescribed the Salah through the prophet’s tongue; at home four Rakaa, during travelling two, and during fear one”. (M: Mosafreen, 5, 6 & N: Salah; 3)
It is permissible to postpone the Salah during fighting if it is detrimental to the safety of the Muslims to pray. This happened when the allied tribes (Ahzab) seized Medina, Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him and the Muslims could not pray ASR until it was time for Magreb (Sunset).
Once safety is restored, the Muslims should go back to praying the prayer in full or 2 Rakaa when travelling.
Again, this shows us the extreme importance of Salah in time under all kinds of circumstances.
