Drawing
lines on the masjid floor to define the direction of the Qiblah
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
What is the ruling regarding drawing lines on the floor or
prayer carpet in the masjid,
keeping in mind that the direction of the Qiblah
is off-line a little, in order to systematically incorporate
the rows?
Response:
There is no harm in this and if they prayed like this without
any lines, then there is no harm since being off-line (towards
the Qiblah)
a little is not a problem
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
