Who Turned His Chest Away from the Qibla in Prayer

Question
What is the ruling for someone who turns his chest away from the Qibla in prayer?
Answer
His prayer is invalid; because the condition is to face the Qibla with the chest, and if this is not done, the prayer is invalid. See Al-Kifayah 1: 237, and Nafi' Al-Mufti 241.
