Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: Where is the time for seeking forgiveness in the Maghrib prayer? Because the sutrah is not in front of the one praying, but rather to his right.
Answer:
Yes. The sutrah is in front of the one praying, but if it is a pillar or something standing, it is better that he not face it directly; it is better that he not face it directly, but rather turn slightly away from it. Yes, out of fear of imitating the worship of idols. Yes.
