📥Question:

In many of the Masjids here with us there is a 30 to 40 degree deviation away from the Qiblah, what is upon us to do?

📤Answer:

Forty degrees is not a small deviation. Being that they have these advanced means by which they are able to come to know of the precise direction of the Qiblah and its general direction, what's obligatory upon them is to turn to the Qiblah:

(فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِۖ)
"So turn your face toward al- Masjid Al-Haram".
[Al-Baqarah 2:149]

And they came to know of the direction of the Masjid Al-Haram, they should turn to this direction.

Contrary to if the direction, with them, wasn't precise, but rather they used an approximate direction, and they didn't have these [current] means.

Here this is overlooked regarding this, because:

(لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۚ)
"Allah does not burden a soul except [with that within] its capacity"
[Al-Baqarah:286]

But being that they came to know the [precise] direction, we advise them that they lean a little in the Masjid, and this is what happened to us when we were in Dammaj. When Shaykh Yahya, may Allah preserve him, came across these advanced means. After this we came to know that there was some deviation in a masjid in Dammaj, the rows became slanted, meaning we turned towards the Qiblah.

This is what I advise them to do. I advise them to face the direction of the Qiblah. Because they know its precise direction.
