Prayer performed on a boat is valid, whether it is stationary or moving, provided one faces the . If the face turns away from the Qibla due to wind, one must reorient towards it and continue the prayer. Obligatory prayers are valid on a stationary ship and a boat tied to the shore, by consensus of jurists, if one faces the Qibla and fulfills all the pillars (arkan). Imam Al-Nawawi holds the view that prayer performed on a moving boat is valid, just as it is on a ship.
