Using Google earth to determine the qiblah direction
Question
When determining qiblah direction, would a Google earth search be considered a valid qiblah direction?
Answer
It is important that you double check and don't merely rely on the result given.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
