The ruling on the prayer of one who deviates from the qiblah in the Haram

The questioner:
He says: A person prayed in the Haram, and upon finishing his prayer, he found that he had deviated from the qiblah by a small amount, not exceeding five meters from the Ka'bah. Does he have to repeat his prayer?

The Shaykh:
Yes, one must hit the Ka'bah itself. If he is in al-Masjid al-Haram, he must pray toward the Ka'bah itself, the Ka'bah itself. So if he deviates from it, his prayer is not valid. This is unlike the one who does not see the Ka'bah, for he prays toward its direction, and if he deviates slightly, it does not harm him, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the East is the qiblah. This is for the people of Madinah and the like for the other directions. So whoever does not see the Ka'bah, the qiblah is the direction; he faces the direction in which the Ka'bah is, even if he deviates from it slightly. As for the one who sees the Ka'bah, he must hit it itself, and if he deviates from it, his prayer is not valid. Yes.

The questioner:
The sighting, of course, and its description.

The Shaykh:
From the building of the Ka'bah, its center or its edges, or. And there was nothing of the Ka'bah in front of him, with it, there is something of the Ka'bah in front of him, whether its center or its edges, no.

The presenter:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
If he does not return.

The Shaykh:
So face the direction if he does not see the Ka'bah, face the direction. Yes.
