What is the correct direction for performing Salaat?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Arij Canada

What is the correct direction for performing Salaat?

Answer:

As Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh

We acknowledge receipt of your query. Our answer is as follows:

The correct direction for (Qiblah) offering prayers (Salaah) is to face towards North -East for people of North America. If one views the world to be round then the closest point towards the Ka’ba is North East. Normally people are confused in this issue when they view the world to be flat.

AND ALLAH TA’AALA KNOWS BEST.
