Is it permissible to perform the obligatory prayer inside a stopped bus if it is facing the Qibla and is spacious, or is it necessary to exit it to pray?
It is not permissible for a Muslim to pray the obligatory (fard) prayer on an animal unless there is an excuse, because some pillars of the prayer would be omitted, such as standing, bowing, prostrating, and facing the . Ibn Battal said: "The scholars unanimously agree that it is not permissible for anyone to pray the obligatory prayer on an animal without an excuse."
As for praying in a bus, it is permissible if all the pillars and duties of the prayer can be fulfilled, such as facing the Qibla, standing, bowing, and prostrating, just as is the case with praying in a palanquin.
However, it must be noted that the obligatory prayer should be performed in congregation with the Muslims in the houses of Allah, and it is not permissible to miss the congregational prayer at the mosque except for an excuse.
