Looking at the place of prostration or the Ka'bah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: When praying in the courtyard of the Haram, is it better to look at the place of prostration, or to look at the Ka'bah?

Answer:
No, the one praying looks at the place of his prostration and does not look at the Ka'bah or at anything else; he looks at the place of his prostration, because this brings humility. As for if he looks here and there and here, his humility decreases and he becomes distracted by the sights in front of him. Yes.
