Death on a bed not facing the direction of prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Some Muslim patients die not facing the qiblah because the hospital bed is placed in a direction other than the qiblah?

A: There is no harm in that. The Sunnah is to turn the patient toward the qiblah when that is possible at the time of death, and if not, there is no harm.
