The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person says the takbir for ihram facing other than the qiblah, does he turn toward the qiblah once he knows its direction, or does he break his prayer and start over from the beginning?
The Shaykh:
If he was facing other than the qiblah with certainty, he starts the prayer over from the beginning. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
One does not say the takbir for ihram until he knows the direction of the qiblah. Yes.
