Purity: Is It Obligatory to Adjust a Toilet Seat Slightly Deviated from the Qiblah?

English:

Question #93

A toilet seat was fixed in a direction totally different from the direction believed to be that of the qiblah. After some time it was known that the direction of the toilet seat is deviated with 20 to 22 degrees from the direction of the qiblah. Is it obligatory to change the direction of the toilet seat or not?

Answer #93

Assuming the deviation from the direction of qiblah is enough to be considered a deviation, there is no problem.
