Does deviation toward the southwest count as facing the qiblah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We said that the hadith indicates that the entire south is the qiblah, meaning that the extreme point of the south from the west, and the extreme point of the south from the east, are all part of the qiblah. And we qualified this with slight deviation. How...?
The Shaykh : By "slight," we mean what does not deviate from... the qiblah. For example, if a person faces this way, he is correct.
The questioner : And toward the west?
The Shaykh : No, now our qiblah is between the west and the south; our qiblah is here, between the west and the south.
