Had Berpaling Yang Dibenarkan Daripada Arah Qiblat

Keputusan: 
Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Ugama Islam Malaysia Kali Ke-79 yang bersidang pada 6-8 September 2007 telah membincangkan mengenai Had Berpaling Yang Dibenarkan Daripada Arah Qiblat (Had al-Tahawwul 'Ani al-Qiblat). Muzakarah berpandangan bahawa arah mengadap kiblat merupakan perkara ijtihadi dan zanni. Penentuan had tidak melebihi 3% bagi pesongan mihrab yang dibenarkan tidak perlu ditetapkan. Oleh itu, Muzakarah memutuskan bahawa had berpaling yang dibenarkan dari arah kiblat tidak perlu difatwakan, tetapi boleh dijadikan sebagai garis panduan dalam pembinaan masjid dan surau baru.

The Degree of Diversion Allowed from the Direction of the Qiblah

Decision:

The 79th Muzakarah (Conference) of the Fatwa Committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs Malaysia held on 6th-8th September 2007 has discussed the Degree of Diversion Allowed from the Direction of the Qiblah (hadd al-tahawul ‘an al-qiblah). The Conference decided that facing the direction of the qiblah is a matter of opinion (ijtihad) and suspicion (zann). Determining the limit of not more than 3% from the allowed diversion of a mihrab (a niche in the wall of a mosque that indicates the direction of the Kaabah) is not required. As such, the Conference decided that the ruling on the degree of diversion allowed from the direction of the qiblah need not be issued in the form of a religious opinion (fatwa), but it can be used as a guideline in building new mosques and places of prayer.
