Do you hold that there is no objection to relying on a compass for one who has lost the direction of the qiblah?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. The compass has become widespread in the present day, Shaykh Salih, and among them are some that are small in size and very inexpensive, and made in an Islamic country. Do you hold that there is no objection to relying on it for one who has lost the direction of the qiblah, or who is in a non-Islamic country?

Answer:
If he has no means by which to know the qiblah, being in a land where he does not know the evidence for the qiblah and its directions, or if he is in a non-Islamic country and does not know the direction of the qiblah, then there is nothing wrong with using the compass, because it is an indication, because it is an indication of knowing the qiblah, and because this is the limit of his ability. However, this is with choosing a good, calibrated compass, because not all compasses are calibrated. Yes.
