Legs facing the qiblah while sleeping

Q: Is it ok if a person is sleeping with their legs straight when the qiblah is at a slight slant? What if in one's sleep, their legs shift and face the qiblah?

A: If one fears that while sleeping one's legs will face the qiblah, then one should change his sleeping position.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
