The ruling on a guest praying in a direction he is not certain of

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We said: O Shaykh, if a person is, for example, a guest and did not ask, then he will not pray except in the direction his heart is reassured by. Yes. Although, I mean, a person often notices that some of the common people pray in whatever direction they enter, saying, "As long as we don't know, we will just pray," but they are not reassured.

The Shaykh : No, I do not permit that.

The questioner : So what happens?

The Shaykh : He repeats it. Yes.

The questioner : It is all wide (permissible).

The Shaykh : Yes, he may have erred or hit the mark, because there is no stronger position.
