The Ruling on Slightly Deviating from the Qiblah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, if it becomes clear to the one praying that he has deviated slightly from the qiblah, and he has already performed several prayers, does he have to repeat the prayers?
Answer:
A slight deviation does not harm. It does not harm unless he can see the Ka'bah. If he can see the Ka'bah, it is not permissible for him to deviate from it; his prayer is invalid if he deviates from it. But if he cannot see it, it is sufficient for him to pray in the direction of the Ka'bah, even if he deviates slightly, and that does not harm. Yes.
