Tinting the windows on the qibla wall

· 15 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

We as the trustees of the musjid wish to tint the musjid windows. Is it correct for us to tint the windows on the qibla wall, as this will cause a mirror effect at night and might distract the musallis?

Answer

If this is going to distract the musallis in their salaah, then do not tint the windows on the qibla wall side.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

How do I find the qiblah direction?

“Primarily, one is not allowed to face the exact Qibla while relieving himself/herself nor turn his/her back towards Qibla as mentioned in various Ahadith due to the sanctity of the Qibla.”
