motion for Sajdaĥ should be lower than that of the Rukū’ (i.e. one has to bend more for Sajdaĥ than for Rukū’). (Durr-e-Mukhtār, Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 2, pp. 588; Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 671 )

2.       If there is enough space on a conveyance like a moving train etc., then one will have to offer Nafl alāĥ while facing the Qiblaĥ as usual.

3.       After a villager has been out of his village, he can offer Nafl alāĥ on the conveyance. (Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 2, pp. 588)

4.       If one began alāĥ outside the city, in a conveyance, but entered the city while still offering alāĥ, he could complete his alāĥ until he reaches his house.

(Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 2, pp. 589)

5.       In a moving vehicle, without a Shar’ī exemption, one cannot offer any Far, Sunnaĥ of Fajr, and Wājib alāĥ and cannot also perform the Sajdaĥ of recitation provided the verse of Sajdaĥ was recited on the ground. The Wājib alāĥ includes the Witr, the vowed [Nażr] alāĥ, or the Nafl alāĥ that was invalidated after being started. If there is a Shar’ī exemption then it is a condition that all the above-mentioned should be offered while standing and facing the Qiblaĥ, if possible, otherwise [i.e. if it is impossible then] in any possible manner.

(Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 673)
