The ruling on repeating the prayer for one who prayed facing a direction other than the qiblah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: I prayed facing a direction other than the qiblah, and then I realized that I had prayed facing a direction other than the qiblah. Do I have to repeat the prayer or not?

Answer:
If you were negligent and did not look for the qiblah, when you had someone who could tell you or signs that you did not use, you must repeat the prayer because you were deficient. But if you had no signs and no one to ask, and you investigated the qiblah and prayed according to your best judgment, your prayer is valid. Fear Allah as much as you are able. Yes.
