Question:
There is a small mosque in my neighborhood, and its qiblah is not correct. I have mentioned this to the imam more than once, but to no avail. Is it permissible to pray in this mosque?
Answer:
If the deviation is slight, it does not harm, and the prayer is valid. However, if the deviation is significant, the prayer is not valid in it until it is corrected and directed toward the qiblah. But consult the Waqf office, or the Department of Mosques if you are in Makkah, or the Department of Mosques in any country of the Kingdom. They will look into what you are saying to see if it is correct or not, and they will take action according to their instructions to repair it, if Allah wills.
