Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A man prayed in a direction other than the qiblah out of ignorance; what is the ruling on his prayer?

Answer:
If it becomes clear to him that he prayed in a direction other than the qiblah, deviating from it without ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) and without making an effort to verify or asking people, he must repeat the prayer. Yes.
