Turning away slightly from the Qiblah
Q 2: What is the ruling on turning away slightly from the Qiblah (direction faced for Prayer towards the Ka‘bah) outside Makkah, to avoid pillars affecting the straightness of the row for congregational Salah (Prayer)?
A: It is obligatory on those performing Salah, who cannot see the Ka‘bah, to face the direction of the Ka‘bah. Turning slightly away from the Qiblah does not matter. However, it is Makruh (disliked) to stand between pillars for Salah if they interrupt the rows, except in the situation when the Masjid (mosque) is small and there are many worshippers performing Salah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
Whatever is between...
