Question:
Our village mosque, after we had been praying in it for a period of time, was found to be misaligned from the direction of the qiblah. Is it obligatory for us to repeat the past prayers?
Answer:
You are not required to repeat them, and a slight deviation is excused. You are not required to repeat the prayers. If the deviation is found to be slight, the precaution is to correct it. However, if it is a large deviation, it is obligatory to correct it. This is not hidden; only the slight deviation is hidden, and that is excused.
