Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I always use my mobile phone to determine the qiblah. I used it in Makkah inside my apartment, and after completing the prayer, I realized I was wrong about the direction and had deviated significantly. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
No, if the deviation is severe, such that the Ka'bah is on your side or on your back, it is not permissible.
