Praying When Outside When In A Foreign Country
Jazak Allah sir! I sometimes combine prayers when I have to run errands outside the home or even go to a restaurant ( very crowded places where if I try perform Salah, atleast by standing, I will either obstruct other people or other people will obstruct me ). I do this because I fear I will not get the opportunity to pray. Similarly on very rare occasions, I’ve decided to pray while sitting because in such crowded public places where just standing towards the qibla can cause disruption or maybe there are so many staring men around that I feel uncomfortable as a woman. Are these justifiable or am I just making things too easy for myself? Can travelling be interpreted as just being outside the house and feeling stressed about finding a suitable place to pray ( especially in a non Muslim country where I can’t simply ask a restaurant owner or shopkeeper permission to pray) ?
