[The Ruling on Supererogatory Prayer in a Car]

Question: May a driver—and likewise a passenger—perform nafl prayers in a car, gesturing for bowing and prostration?

Answer: Yes. By analogy with one riding a mount: he says the takbīr, recites, and gestures for bowing and prostration; facing the qiblah is not required here.
