  • How Much Deviation From The Qibla Is Acceptable

    Posted by Saba Bilal on October 24, 2025 at 5:33 am

    These days, we have apps to tell the direction with a reasonable degree of certainty. Are we obliged to use them in our homes continuously so that we are facing the exact direction each time or is a little deviation ( that naturally occurs if we have a direction in mind but don’t use the app in the day to day). I am asking as I realized there’s some amount of deviation that that does naturally occurs ( like 10 degrees right or left ) when we use our memory. However im afraid using the app all the time will just turn into another source of waswasa and source of stress that will distract me from peacefully performing prayers .

    Deen is easy; therefore, such restrictions are not prescribed. Face towards the direction, the exact direction is not required. Do not make up restrictions to make things difficult for you, as Deen has never mentioned such things.
