Why is it to face the feet towards the Qibla people say it is ghunnah?
Question
Why is it to face the feet towards the Qibla people say it is ghunnah? Jazakallah.
Answer
The Qibla is from amongst the salient features of Islam, which a person should show respect to. Facing one's feet towards Qibla intentionally should be avoided. Spitting in the direction of the Qibla has been prohibited in the Ahadith. Allah Taala says and whosoever respects the salient features of Allah, that is from the piety of the heart. (S 22 V.32)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
