If an error in the qiblah is discovered: Is the prayer repeated?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person prays in congregation, and it then becomes clear to the congregation that his facing of the qiblah was incorrect, what is obligatory for him?

Answer:
If it becomes clear that he was not facing the qiblah, but was deviating from it by a large amount, then the prayer must be repeated. However, if the deviation is slight, this does not harm.
