Question:
Is it permissible to look at the Ka'bah during the final tashahhud for one who is praying in the Haram?
Answer:
No, looking at the Ka'bah is not prescribed. We were not commanded to look at it; rather, we were commanded to perform tawaf around it and to face it in prayer. This is what we were commanded to do. As for looking at it, clinging to its curtains, and rubbing against it, this has not been reported except regarding the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner only. Yes.
