Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, if a man slaughters an animal facing a direction other than the qiblah without intending to, what is the ruling on that?
Answer:
Facing the qiblah in the 'Id sacrifice or in the slaughtered animal is a recommended practice (sunnah). So if he does not face it toward the qiblah, it is lawful, because he has left off a recommended practice.
