Alerting the Prayers on a Ship When They Err in the Direction of the Qiblah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a man joins a group while they are in prayer and they are facing the opposite direction of the qiblah because they are on a ship, what should he do?

The Shaykh:
He alerts them to the direction of the qiblah, and they turn toward it while they are in their prayer, provided there is no obstacle, and their error is forgiven. Yes.

The presenter:
He also says, completing the question: Does the one praying on a ship take the ruling of the mosque?

The Shaykh:
Yes, if possible, he takes the ruling of the mosque, because it is like a room in which one can stand, bow, and prostrate, and face the qiblah, so it takes the ruling of the mosque.
