Case: A follower prays from a side other than the imam’s, with a greater or smaller distance from the Kaaba.
Ruling: Distance variation alone does not invalidate the prayer. The relevant side and correct orientation must be considered.
The ruling does not treat a single circular radius through the imam as a universal boundary for all sides.
