Turning toward the qiblah during his prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was praying the 'Asr prayer facing a direction other than the qiblah, so a man came to me while I was praying and directed me toward the qiblah during my prayer. Should I complete it? And is my prayer valid?
Answer:
If the deviation is slight, your prayer is valid and you complete it. However, if the deviation is significant, such that the qiblah is behind your back or to your side, you must start the prayer over from the beginning. Yes.
