Does the one praying in the Haram look at the Ka'bah or at the place of his prostration?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh Salih. The questioner, Mahmoud, has a second question, Honorable Shaykh. He mentions and says: If I am in prayer and I am in the Haram, do I look at the Ka'bah or at the place of my prostration?

Answer:
You look at the place of your prostration; because this is more humble, more conducive to humility. So do not look at the Ka'bah, nor at what is in front of you, but rather look at the place of your prostration in prayer, whether you are in the Haram or elsewhere.
