The questioner : The worshipper in al-Masjid al-Haram.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And it may not be possible for him.
The Shaykh : Perhaps.
The questioner : He may not be able to face the exact direction of the Ka'bah.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. Now, in al-Masjid al-Haram, in most cases, one cannot see the Ka'bah because of the pillars, so one cannot see it. But now, praise be to Allah, what are they called? Lines, no, there are lines, and also... they direct one toward the qiblah. The problem is gone; otherwise, in the past, it was a problem, and sometimes one would repeat the prayer. Glory be to Allah.
