Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is he not asking about praying in a mosque that has a deviation from the qiblah?
Answer:
A slight deviation does no harm. A slight deviation does no harm. However, if they are praying and the qiblah is behind their backs or on their sides, this is not permissible. If the qiblah is on the side of the one praying or behind his back, this is not permissible. But if it is in front of him, even if he did not hit the exact point, hitting the direction is sufficient; the direction in which the qiblah is located. The deviation that does not turn the one praying away from the qiblah, that does not turn the body of the one praying away from the qiblah. This prayer is valid. Yes.
