How Should People Establish Their Prayers While Traveling By Ship?

How should people establish their prayers while traveling by ship?

The fundamental issue while establishing prayer in vehicles such as ship on which one is able to stand is to establish prayer by standing and turning to the qiblah. If it is not possible to establish it by standing due to reasons such as dizziness, one may establish it by sitting on ship and, if possible, he should do it by performing ruku and prostration rather than moving the head only. One turns to the qiblah at the beginning of prayer, if possible, and he needs to keep turning to the qiblah as the ship changes its direction. Unlike performing prayers on the animals (such as horse), people may establish prayer by forming a congregation while on ship (Kasani, Bada’i, I, 109-110).
