Prayer in the desert facing a direction other than the qiblah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says: A group prayed in the desert facing a direction other than the qiblah. When they finished the prayer, a person came and showed them the qiblah, and they were still within the time. Do they have to repeat the prayer?
Answer:
If they exerted effort to determine the qiblah and prayed, their prayer is valid and they do not repeat it. However, if they did not exert effort to determine the qiblah, they are negligent. If it becomes clear to them that they were facing a direction other than the qiblah, they must repeat the prayer, whether they are still within the time or after the time has passed, because they were negligent in not exerting effort and looking for the signs of the qiblah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
