Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: When the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) turned toward the Ka'bah after they had been praying toward the direction of the Sacred House in Jerusalem, can this be cited as evidence that if a person prays toward a direction other than the Ka'bah and is then reminded at that time, he should turn toward the Ka'bah and complete his prayer?
Answer:
Yes, yes, he completes his prayer. Yes.
