Years ago, I read an article that this is a big problem already in the north of Sweden. They have no sunset for quite a while in ~~winter~~ summer.
They solve it with a rule somewhere that you can orient this on the next major city. Some interpret that to be Stockholm, others as the next major Islamic city which is Istanbul. Both feel bad about eating while the sun is out, especially when they are born is the "Muslim world", therefore near the equator relatively speaking
There was a super interesting situation when the first Malaysian cosmonaut went to the ISS. He wasn't the first Muslim in space, but he was apparently the first to ask for guidance about things like how to correctly conduct his daily prayers and how to observe Ramadan's fasting. The council he spoke to made a booklet called A Guideline of Performing Ibadah at the International Space Station (ISS), which includes the delightful checklist for how to orient yourself for daily prayers: towards the kaaba if you can, if not then the kaaba's projection, if not that then just the Earth in general, and if even that isn't practical then wherever.
If you don't know the direction of the Kaaba', then you try approximating. if you can't, then pray facing any direction. I don't know where the other ones come from, but this is not coming from the council, but a hadeeth.
The rules I listed there are what's in that booklet I mentioned for the specific case of being aboard the ISS, I'm not saying that they're general guidance for all Muslims. I don't know if there's a more appropriate word than "council" for the group of people that put it together for the Angkasawan program, though
The guidance in that booklet was based off the scriptures, so you're both right ๐
I am not saying that the rules are wrong, just that most of them are from a hadeeth. So the council could've just used that instead of making the booklet, but it's still interesting that they did.
Would that rule apply here though, because the Cosmonaut does have knowledge about where Kaaba' is. The problem would be that with the speeds in question the Kaaba' doesn't (relative to the Cosmonaut) stay there very long.
All that matters is their intention to face the Kaaba, not whether or not they actually do so
