I pray the voluntary prayer at home, and my prayer is near the door, or in front of the door. Is my prayer valid?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I pray the voluntary prayer at home, but my prayer is near the door or in front of the door,
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
but my prayer is near the door or in front of the door. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
The prayer is valid, but it is disliked to pray facing an open door because someone might enter and disturb you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would turn away from the door when he prayed. And when 'Ali came, he would clear his throat to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then the Messenger would step forward, open the door, and pray. He would step forward a few paces, open the door, and pray, peace and blessings be upon him. Yes.
