The ruling on facing the qiblah when a person in ihram shaves his head
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : That is, he says he faces the qiblah.
Answer : This also requires consideration. Although some scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said that for every act of worship, it is better to face the qiblah unless there is evidence to the contrary, and based on this they held that it is recommended for one performing wudu' to face the qiblah during his ablution. However, there is a point of consideration here: facing the qiblah is an act of worship, and it is not prescribed unless the Sunnah has established it.
