Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of Abu Ayyub, it mentions deviating from the qiblah and then seeking forgiveness. What is the reason for seeking forgiveness here?
Answer:
The reason for seeking forgiveness is his deviation. And regarding its existence toward the qiblah, he feared that he might incur sin from it, even if he was not the one who built it. However, this is a matter of extreme scrupulousness on his part (may Allah be pleased with him) and adherence to what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. Yes.
