Question:
This question has come up before. He says: We have a mosque that is not facing the qiblah.
Answer:
My brother, you should go to the department responsible for mosques. The Ministry of Awqaf, the Department of Mosque Affairs, is the one that looks into this mosque. As for me, I am far from the mosque and do not know where it is. Also, I do not have the authority to do so. Go to the competent department responsible for mosques, report this mosque to them, and let them look into it. What you mentioned may be correct, or you may be mistaken. Yes.
