Question

1-A person prayed his farz & sunnah salaah at the workplace but he wasn't facing the direction of the Qibla does he have to do qadha of the Farz & sunnah prayer or only the farz?

2-Whats the direction of the Qibla in the UK?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

1. If Taharree (discretion) of the Qibla was made and the prayer was performed, thereafter one was informed of praying in the wrong direction the prayer would be valid and there would be no need to repeat the prayer. However if one did not make Taharree and performed the prayer, Qadha would have to be made for the Fardh prayer and not for the Sunnah prayer.

2. The Qibla direction will vary from the area you residing in.
Eg: The Qibla would be 117.93 degree from north clockwise, depending on the place you reside, or for an approximate direction East of South east.

( وإن شرع بلا تحر لم يجز وإن أصاب ) لتركه فرض التحري إلا إذا علم إصابته بعد فراغه فلا يعيد اتفاقا بخلاف مخالف جهة تحريه فإنه يستأنف مطلقا كمصل على أنه محدث أو ثوبه نجس أو الوقت لم يدخل فبان بخلافه لم يجز.
) الدر المختار, سعيد, ج1, ص435)

وقيد بالتحري لأن من صلى ممن اشتبهت عليه بلا تحر فعليه الإعادة إلا أن علم بعد الفراغ أنه أصاب لأن ما افترض لغيره يشترط حصوله لا تحصيله وإن علم في الصلاة أنه أصاب يستقبل خلافا لأبي يوسف لما ذكرنا …
من توضأ بماء أو صلى في ثوب على ظن أنه طاهر ثم تبين أنه نجس حيث يعيد الصلاة لأنه ترك ما أمر به وهو الصلاة في ثوب طاهر وعلى طهارة.
