Fatwa #1121219 March 2004South Africa

In one of my bedrooms because of the builtin cupboards the bed faces north which is kibla in SA.The feet face north when sleeping.Is this permissible as this is not exactly the direction of kibla.

Answer

1. It is disrespectful to face one?s feet in the direction of the Qiblah.

2. If the feet are facing towards the North, it is possible they will be facing towards the direction of the Qiblah.
