Скачать или смотреть What Is the Prayer Direction in Los Angeles? | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally addresses a question about differing qiblah or prayer directions in Los Angeles, where some mosques face 24° northeast and others 93.7° southeast. He explains that such variation arises from different methods of determining direction: traditional flat maps versus the scientifically accurate great circle method, which accounts for Earth's shape and gives a northeasterly direction from North America. While most North American mosques now face northeast, some still follow classical jurisprudence that pointed southeast based on older methods. Dr. Shabir emphasizes that prayer is valid as long as the general direction is correct and advises against causing division over minor directional differences. He encourages respectful discussion with mosque leadership if adjustments are needed, rather than creating discord.
