The ruling on praying based on independent legal reasoning regarding the direction of prayer, and then the error becoming apparent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And other things, if he prayed for them and then it is better, then you keep the limbs, so America
The Shaykh:
There is a distinction here. If he is in the desert, exerts his effort, and prays in the desert, and there is no one with him to ask and no landmarks for him to know, and he exerts his effort and prays, and then the error becomes apparent to him, his prayer is valid; his prayer is valid. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:115] They said that it was revealed, meaning some of the exegetes hold that it was revealed for a group who exerted their effort regarding the direction of prayer and prayed, and then the error became apparent to them, so the verse was revealed to validate their prayer. So if a person exerts his effort, and there are no landmarks and no one to ask, and he exerts his effort and prays, his prayer is valid. But if there is someone he can ask, but he falls short out of laziness, then he has no excuse; he must repeat the prayer; he must repeat the prayer. Yes.
And other things, if he prayed for them and then it is better, then you keep the limbs, so America
The Shaykh:
There is a distinction here. If he is in the desert, exerts his effort, and prays in the desert, and there is no one with him to ask and no landmarks for him to know, and he exerts his effort and prays, and then the error becomes apparent to him, his prayer is valid; his prayer is valid. Allah the Exalted said:
And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah
وَلِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ
