The ruling on the prayer of a sick person if he does not determine the qiblah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is Nuur al-Din saying: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling for a sick person if he is praying but does not determine the qiblah?
Answer:
It is obligatory to face the qiblah; it is a condition for the validity of the prayer,[Al-Baqarah 2:144], unless he is unable to face the qiblah, in which case this condition is dropped from him. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray voluntarily while traveling for one who travels at night, traveling on his mount, on his car, or on his beast at night, so he may pray the night prayer on the mount wherever it faces him. Yes.
May Allah reward you. This is Nuur al-Din saying: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling for a sick person if he is praying but does not determine the qiblah?
Answer:
It is obligatory to face the qiblah; it is a condition for the validity of the prayer,
So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]
فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ
