Question
What is the ruling for someone who prays after verifying the direction of the Qibla and then realizes his mistake?
Answer
He does not have to repeat the prayer if his mistake is clarified; as He, exalted be He, said: (Wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah) Al-Baqarah: 115, meaning: there is the Qibla of Allah, which was revealed regarding prayer in cases of doubt. Refer to: Naafi' Al-Mufti p. 243-244.
