Extending the feet in the mosque toward the qiblah or the mushafs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on extending the feet in the mosque toward the qiblah or toward the mushafs?
The Shaykh:
If you are near the mushaf, no. If you are far away, and the mushaf is far from you, there is no harm in extending them toward the direction of the qiblah, especially if you are in the row. If you are in the row and, meaning, the time has drawn out for you and you want to relax your legs, there is no harm. Yes.
The questioner:
And likewise, may Allah preserve him, he asks about extending the feet toward the Ka'bah if one is in the courtyard of the Haram?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in that. It is better for people to be [facing the same direction]. Yes.
