Ruling on praying without facing the Qibla when not being careful

Question
A woman prayed the Asr prayer, and after she finished, they informed her that the Qibla was incorrect. Should she repeat her prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If she has made an effort and reached a place where there is no one to ask about the Qibla, then she does not need to repeat her prayer. However, if she is in a place where there are people to ask and she did not ask and made a mistake, then she must repeat it. And God knows best.
