Ruling on Deviating from the Qibla in Prayer
In the company I work for, there is a prayer room where we pray with a deviation of about 25 degrees from the actual Qibla in order to make the most of the space in the room. Is this permissible, or is it obligatory to face the Qibla directly?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: We must strive to face the Qibla as much as possible, and God knows best.
