I'd have to say "no" for liability reasons.

Which pretty much echo's this: [ QUOTE ]
Passengers should be in their seats with their belts fastened - regardless of what the FARs say - and to have people on their knees (not belted in), blocking an ailse is an unsafe condition. I could give one ##### about needing to pray, or if they were back there doing step aerobics I'm not opening myself, or the company, up to liability by allowing them to crawl around on the floor.

[/ QUOTE ]

If an individual is granted express permission by the Captain of an aircraft to be out of their seat, unstrapped, for any length of time - and something occurs in which that individual (or anyone else) is injured - it is almost inevitible in todays litigious society, that that (those) individual(s) would come after my employer.

People can pray from their seats just as well as they can from their knees.
