Slaughtering an Animal or Burial of a Deceased When One Does Not Know the Direction of the Qiblah
Issue No.725- Animals should also be slaughtered towards the direction of the qiblah. And if a person wishes to slaughter an animal but is not certain about the direction of the qiblah, he should act according to what he presumes, and if it is not possible to acquire a presumption and he needs to slaughter the animal, he can slaughter it facing any direction. Also, the same procedure should be followed with respect to the burial of the dead body of a Muslim who should be laid facing the qiblah.
