Does Turning Away from The Qiblah Invalidate The Prayer?
1. Turning away physically by turning one’s chest away from the direction of the Qiblah invalidates the prayer because facing towards the Qiblah is one of the conditions of the validity of prayer being. 2. Turning away one’s head or eyes only, while the body remains facing towards the Qiblah is disliked, unless the Muslim does it because he needs to. 3. There is another type of turning away, which is turning away whilst praying in one’s heart, through thoughts that distract a person so that he does not focus and reflect on his prayer.
