What is the ruling regarding the congregational prayer of Muslims in Canada facing northeast, despite the Kaaba being located northwest of Mecca? And what is the ruling concerning the insistence of some individuals on praying towards the southeast and their deviation from the congregation? Is it permissible to expel them from the mosque?

Muslims in Canada are advised to observe brotherly faith, to consult scholars when disagreeing, and to be careful not to tarnish the image of Islam. Facing the Qibla (definition) is a condition for the validity of prayer. The correct direction for the Qibla in Canada is to the Northeast, as Canada is located in the northern hemisphere, which places Makkah to its Northeast. This can be determined by using a globe or by finding the magnetic North, which will show that Makkah is to the Northeast of Canada, with the exception of the northeastern regions or the far East of Canada, where the Qibla approaches the East or slightly inclines to the South. The Qibla can also be determined by the sun.
