The answer

Whoever makes a mistake in facing the Qibla while in a city must repeat the prayer unconditionally, because they have access to mihrabs (prayer niches) and established Qibla directions, and they can find someone to inform them with certainty. They are obligated to make up all those prayers. As for prayers missed before puberty, there is no making up for them. Regarding prayers missed after puberty, there is a difference of opinion on the obligation to make them up. However, it is more cautious to make them up, in agreement with the majority of scholars and to avoid disagreement.
