Facing the with one's feet is an obligation (), not a . It is recommended (yusann) to keep them slightly separated, by about a span (shibr), and one should not separate them excessively. Facing the Qibla with one's feet is a condition for the validity of the prayer ( fi sihhat as-salat); the prayer becomes void by neglecting it.
