Q: In my masjid, the qiblah is off by a bit. In between 35 - 43°. (Closer to 40° in most apps)
They are getting new carpets fitted insha Allah. However, the committee are disputing on whether to face it to the qibla or keep it as it is. They will lose a few musalla spaces if they angle the carpets and it will make the carpets not match the building which they don't want.
I've said, although the salaahs may be valid, it would be best to angle it and go closer to the qiblah, preferably within 20°. Could you give a final answer into the matter?
