When a Muslim says: (Peace be upon you), should his face be toward the qiblah or toward the right?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Layla : If you please, our Shaykh; regarding when one first speaks, does he say the words "Peace be upon you" facing the qiblah or directly to the right?
The Shaykh : The first image, or which image?
Abu Layla : In which of the images?
The Shaykh : No, he does not divide it; he turns to the right and begins the greeting.
Abu Layla: Yes.
The Shaykh : As for this first image, specifically between in front of him and to his right, he says: Peace be upon you.
Abu Layla : Meaning, he faces the qiblah?
The Shaykh : Between in front of him and to his right.
Abu Layla: Yes.
The Shaykh : Like this.
Abu Layla : Yes, yes, there will be a deviation.
The Shaykh : As for the other greetings or types... and to the left, as for in front of him and ending at his right and left; this has no basis!
