Rules of Qibla

784. Our Qibla is the holy Ka’bah, which is situated in Makkah. Qibla is from the core of the earth to the heavens and one should offer his prayers facing it. However, a person who is far, would stand in such a manner that people would say that he is praying facing the Qibla that would suffice. This also applies to other acts which should be performed facing the Qibla like, while slaughtering an animal etc.
