When did the qiblah change from the Ka'bah to the Sacred Mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: It is well known that the qiblah in the time of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was toward the Ka'bah. So when did it change to the Sacred Mosque? Was it in the time of Isma'il, Ishaq, or Ya'qub (peace be upon them), or when did this change take place? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
When the Sacred Mosque was built, and its construction was after the Ka'bah by a certain period, the qiblah was directed toward it by the command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
