Where is the place of the gaze when praying in the Ka'bah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And where should the gaze be directed during prayer for one who is inside the Sacred Mosque? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The prayer of the one who is praying in the Sacred Mosque or elsewhere is that his gaze should be directed to the place of his prostration. His gaze should be directed to the place of his prostration, because this is a cause for humility and cutting off distractions. If he looks in front of him and his gaze wanders to the passersby or to the sights in front of him, that distracts him from his prayer. If he looks at the place of his prostration, these distractions are cut off from him and he turns to his prayer.
