The pilgrim prayed in Muzdalifah, then it became clear to him after the prayer that he had deviated slightly from the qiblah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q7: If a pilgrim prays in Muzdalifah and then it becomes clear to him after the prayer that he had deviated slightly from the qiblah , is his prayer valid, and what is the limit
of deviation that invalidates the prayer?

A7: If the one praying does not see the Ka'bah , it is obligatory for him to face its direction, and a slight deviation does not affect the validity of his prayer; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
What is between the east and the west is Qiblah.ما بين المشرق والمغرب قبلة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 342Sahih (Darussalam)
. It was narrated by al-Tirmidhi , and Ibn Majah , and al-Tirmidhi said: hasan sahih, and al-Hakim graded it sahih, and al-Madhhabī agreed with him. However, if the deviation is significant, such that the one praying goes outside the direction of the qiblah, then it affects the validity of the prayer.
