Where I work, there is a church directly in the way of the Qiblah. How can a person get fear of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'Ala?
Question
Where I work, there is a church directly in the way of the Qiblah. It has big crosses on it, however it can not be seen from the room in which I pray. Is it permissible to make salaat, even the building with the crosses is in my way?
How can a person get fear of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'Ala?
Answer
If the church comes in line with the Qiblah, the Salaat will still be valid. The intention is to face the Qibla and not the church.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
