The acts for which facing the qiblah is prescribed

Question:
A questioner from... says: The sender (E. E. G.) is our brother, and he has a number of questions. In one of them, he asks: When is it recommended to face the qiblah while performing a righteous act?
Direct us, and list those acts for us if possible. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Facing the qiblah in righteous acts is better if it is feasible. If one sits to read, or to remember Allah, or if it is established that facing the qiblah is better, then it is better. However, it is not obligatory. If one sits facing other than the qiblah during the time of recitation, dhikr, or reading, there is no blame on him. It is only obligatory to face it in prayer, because facing the qiblah—the Ka'bah—is a condition of prayer if one is a resident and not a traveler. As for a traveler, he prays in the direction of his travel for voluntary prayers. It is better for him to enter the state of ihram facing the qiblah, saying the takbir of ihram while facing the qiblah, and then he prays in the direction of his travel for the voluntary prayer.
As for the obligatory prayer, he faces the qiblah. He dismounts and prays facing the qiblah, and he does not pray in any other direction, even if he is traveling. He must dismount and face the qiblah, whether he is in a car or on a camel. He must dismount unless he is unable to do so because the ground does not permit dismounting, due to floods or rain..., or if he fears that he cannot dismount. In that case, he prays according to his condition and faces the qiblah with his mount or his car. Yes.
