What is the ruling on looking at the Ka'bah during prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it better to look at the Ka'bah during the prayer, or to look at the place of prostration?

Answer:
No, one does not look at the Ka'bah during the prayer; one looks at the place of prostration. There is no evidence that one looks at the Ka'bah. The evidence indicates that the one praying looks at the place of prostration, whether it is at the Ka'bah or elsewhere.
