The questioner:
Salih, the listener Sa'd from Yemen has two questions. He says: May Allah reward you. We have a mosque whose qiblah is misaligned by the width of a hand. Is it permissible to pray in it?
The Shaykh:
A slight misalignment does not harm. However, correcting it is better if it is easy to do. Yes.
The questioner:
And if it is built and correcting it is difficult, is it permissible to pray in it?
The Shaykh:
A slight misalignment does not harm. It does not harm. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh!
