    Q1. Which condition is indispensable for obligatory Salah in Islam?

    • A) Facing the approximate direction of Masjid al-Haram regardless of compass error
    • B) Having an explicit audible intention announced to the Imam before every Rakah
    • C) Dressing solely in stitched clothing for male worshippers in every salah
    • D) Standing on a mosque carpet that has geometric patterns pointing to Makkah

    Answer: Facing the approximate direction of Masjid al-Haram regardless of compass error

    Explanation: Facing the approximate direction of the Masjid al-Haram (Qibla) is a required pre-condition for the validity of Salah; an honest effort to determine the direction suffices when a compass is unavailable.
