Is it permissible to pray in apartments if we do not know the direction of the qiblah?

Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this brother, Abdul Aziz, says: Sometimes we travel with the children and stay in furnished apartments, and there is no place for the qiblah or prayer mats, and the apartments are also furnished. Do we pray on them without knowing their purity? Also, we do not know which direction the qiblah is in?

Answer:
You must ask; ask those who know the qiblah. Also, look at the shadow, the sun, and the moon to know the qiblah. If you are in Muslim lands, look at the mihrabs and mosques to know the qiblah by them. If you are not in Muslim lands, ask the Muslims there; ask the Muslims you find there, and the Muslim communities and Islamic centers to know the qiblah. Yes.
