Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I heard that it is not permissible for a person who is sleeping or sitting to point their feet toward the qiblah. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
There is nothing preventing it. That is to say, if a person stretches out their legs, if he is an old, poor man, you do not prevent him from stretching out his leg. No, there is nothing wrong with it, if Allah wills. Yes. When he stretches his leg toward the mushaf, if the mushaf is close to him, he does not stretch his leg toward it. But if it is far from the mushaf, there is no harm in this. Yes.
