Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: I was informed by a man with poor eyesight that when the imam makes a mistake and deviates from the qiblah in his prayer, either to the right or to the left, is our prayer behind him valid?
Answer:
A slight deviation does no harm; a slight deviation does no harm. I do not think he deviates much; he deviates slightly. This is what does no harm. Yes.
