The ruling on acting on the report of one who was asked about the qiblah and whose status is unknown

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I am traveling and I ask a person about the qiblah, and I do not know whether he is trustworthy or not, do I act on his judgment?

Answer:
No. If there is someone else, ask him to be sure. If there is someone else, ask him to be sure until you reach certainty or a preponderance of probability. And if there is no one else, there is no one else, you act on his report as long as it does not become clear to you that it is contrary to what is required, because the default for a Muslim is integrity and trustworthiness; that is the default for a Muslim.
