The ruling on praying with a slight deviation from the qiblah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Waleed says: Shaykh, I traveled to a country and wanted to pray at my residence. I faced the qiblah, but with a slight deviation. Is my prayer valid?

Answer:
Yes, if the deviation is slight, it does not harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Everything between the east and the west is a qiblah." As long as the qiblah is not behind you or to your side, your prayer is valid. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
