Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some jurists make an exception regarding looking at the place of prostration when a person is in front of the Ka'bah, stating that he looks at it and does not look at his place of prostration?
Answer:
As far as I know, no one has said this. This is among the common people. One does not look at the Ka'bah while praying; he looks at the place of his prostration, whether it is at the Ka'bah or elsewhere. Yes.
