The Muslim's saying (As-salamu alaykum): Should his face be toward the qiblah when he says it, or should it be to the right?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Layla: If you please, our Shaykh, regarding when one first speaks the greeting of peace, does he say the words "As-salamu alaykum" facing the qiblah, or directly to the right?
The Shaykh : The first position, or any position.
Abu Layla: In which of the positions?
The Shaykh : No, he does not divide it; he turns to the right and begins with the greeting.
Abu Layla: Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : As for the first position, this is specifically between in front of him and to his right, and he says "As-salamu alaykum."
Abu Layla: So, is he facing the qiblah?
The Shaykh : Between in front of him and to his right.
Abu Layla: Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : Like that.
Abu Layla: Without deviation.
The Shaykh : As for the other types of greetings... and to the left, as for in front of him, and ending on his right and his left, this has no basis!
