Primary text

If the wind blows the target onto its face, the ruling is the same as the case where the target is moved but the arrow lands where the target landed, meaning the shot is neither counted for nor against the archer unless they agreed to shoot at the spot where it landed.

This is stated according to the opinion of Abu al-Khattab.
