Ruling on pointing one’s feet towards the qiblah
Praise be to Allaah.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “There is no sin on a
person if he sleep with his feet towards the Ka’bah, rather the fuqaha’ (may Allaah have mercy on them)
said: if a sick person cannot stand or sit, he should pray lying on his side with his face towards the qiblah,
and if he cannot then he should pray on his back with his feet towards the qiblah.”
Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 2/976
And Allaah knows best.
Ruling on pointing one’s feet towards the qiblah
Praise be to Allaah.
Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Humayd (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about pointing one’s feet in
the direction of the qiblah. He replied:
There is nothing to say that this is not allowed, but some of the scholars regarded it as makrooh (disliked)
to stretch the feet out towards the Ka’bah if one is close to it; they regarded this as makrooh but not
emphatically so. But if there is a mosque somewhere else and there is a Muslim there who points his feet
towards the qiblah, there is no harm in that and he is not doing anything forbidden in sha Allaah, as the
scholars stated. And Allaah knows best.
See Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Humayd, p. 144
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked about pointing the feet towards the qiblah whilst sleeping. He said:
There is no blame on a person if he sleeps and his feet are pointing towards the qiblah.
Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 2/976.
Allah knows the best.
