Question:
Where should the one who is praying look when he is praying in front of the Ka'bah? Does he look at the Noble Ka'bah or at the place of his prostration?
Answer:
One does not look at the Ka'bah during prayer; he looks at the place of his prostration. The one who is praying looks at the place of his prostration in the Sacred Mosque and in any other mosque. Looking at the Ka'bah during prayer is not part of the Sunnah.
