Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding facing the qiblah and turning one’s back to it in open space and in buildings?
Answer:
The stronger position, and Allah knows best, is what the author categorized: that in buildings, there is no objection; there is no objection to it. However, with this, if you are building a house, a building, or a residence, you should avoid these things. But if you come upon a completed building that has this, there is no objection to using it. Yes.
