Method for Determining the Direction of the Qiblah at Night and Day

Question:
The listener Ahmad Uthman from the Arab Republic of Egypt says: How can one determine the direction of the qiblah at night and during the day?

Answer:
This varies according to people's knowledge; people differ in this knowledge. The one who has a compass and knows how to use the compass can determine the qiblah by the compass, which is now known to people. The one who does not know this can look at the rising and setting of the sun. If he knows in his country that the Ka'bah is to the south, he faces the south; if the Ka'bah is to the north, he faces the north; if the Ka'bah is to the west, he faces the west; if the Ka'bah is to the east, he faces the east, and so on.
The direction is sufficient. So if he is in the east, he faces the west, with the Ka'bah in front of him. If he is in the west, he faces the east. If he is in the north, he faces the south. If he is in the south, he faces the north, in the direction where the Ka'bah is. If it is between these, he should strive to determine the direction and pray toward it. If he is with brothers, he should consult them and cooperate with them so that they can determine the direction of the qiblah at night by the stars, and during the day by the rising and setting of the sun, and by other means by which the knowledge of the qiblah is determined. Yes.
