I'd like to know the ruling regards Namaaz on a plane.

Question

I'd like to know the ruling regards Namaaz on a plane. Most people don't perform Namaaz on the plane. They make qadha when they reach their destination. Some even call it "taraweeh' of missed Namaaz during Safr. I've travelled with plane loads of Muslims and only a handful perform Namaaz.

Answer

Abandoning Salaat, be it even on a plane, is a major sin. It is Fardh to perform the Fardh Namaaz even on a plan. Jocularly describing the missed Salaat 'taraaweeh', is sinful, in fact akin to kufr because it is a mockery of the Law of Allah Ta'ala.
