Day Questions

We have constructed a Mosque some years ago, in which the daily prayers including the Friday prayers. A few days ago, we realized that the Qibla of the Mosque was deviated by 14 degrees. However, some people in the community are adamant in continuing to pray in the wrong direction of Qibla.What is the ruling on the previous prayers offered in the wrong direction with the said deviation? Can one continue to pray towards the same wrong direction?

Since you did not know the correct direction of the Qibla within the mentioned deviation, the previous prayers are correct but the prayer should be, from now on, towards the correct direction of the Qibla, since you have realized that and paid attention to it. The prayer is void if the earlier Qibla is taken, as it is deliberate disobedience.

Where can I give the food that I want to pay as Kaffara and be sure that it will be given to the poor?

If you could not find needy Shia believers, you could pass the cost of the food to the offices of the Marja in order to be given as food to the needy believers.

Must I raise my hands at the end of the prayer three times after Tasleem?

The prayer ends with Tasleem, and it is recommended to recite Takbeer three times after the prayer, raising the hands each time.
