The ruling on a sick person praying without facing the qiblah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Nour al-Din, says: As for the sick person, what is the ruling for a sick person who prays but does not face the qiblah?

Answer:
Facing the qiblah is a condition of the prayer; it is not valid without it, provided one is able to do so. However, if one is unable to face the qiblah, he prays in whatever direction he is able to. Yes.
