The Ruling on the Imam Praying Deliberately

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That the imam turns his face deliberately.

Answer:
The prayer is valid, but it is not permissible. It is obligatory to correct it, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Ibn 'Abbas and turned him around, but the prayer is valid.
