Question:
Between the two, it is reported in a hadith that the mu'adhdhin (the one who calls to prayer) of the praying person looked up with his gaze to the sky, but if one is exposed outside the hour, he raises his grave to the sky, is there a ruling in that?
Answer:
No, this was not prohibited. The prohibition is only for raising the gaze during prayer. As for raising the gaze to the sky at times other than prayer, there is no harm in it.
