Summary
The myMUWAQQIT app can be used by Muslim travellers to find prayer times during a flight. It was developed by the Malaysian Syar'i Falak Association with the support of MAB and MOSTI and endorsed by JAKIM, based on flight data studies of the zenith angle and refraction at aircraft cruising altitude. Users enter the flight number and date, then press the continue button. Other apps such as Halal Trip, 'Ard and Sky Prayers offer the same function, and some are paid while others are free.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka, perisian khas myMUWAQQIT ini diharapkan dapat membantu para musafir muslim mengetahui waktu solat dengan tepat ketika berada di dalam kapal terbang.
