Determining the Qiblah at Sea
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner from Dammam says: We go out every morning in a sea boat to catch fish, and we do not return until the evening. We do not know the direction of the Qiblah because we go far out, and we pray the midday and afternoon prayers shortened on the boat, as well as the sunset and night prayers. When the waves are high, we do not know the Qiblah.
Answer:
The Qiblah is determined by the sun, the moon, and the stars, and also by the compass, which is the well-known instrument. Do what is possible, make an effort, and pray in the direction you believe to be the Qiblah. Yes.
