Which is more preferable for the praying person: looking at the place of prostration or looking at the Ka'bah?

Question : Listen to the question; I have nothing else, people. The nineteenth question. Which is more preferable: the prayer looking at the place of prostration or looking at the Ka'bah?

Answer : The more preferable, the more preferable is for the one praying to look at the place of prostration. Because that is safer for him. As for looking at the Ka'bah, may Allah keep you safe, I do not know of any report from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he commanded it or that he did it during prayer. That is it. And even if some people say that looking at the House is an act of worship, how is that? This is also not established, may Allah keep you safe, unless they bring evidence. I mean, that looking at the House is an act of worship. But as for in prayer, there is no doubt, I have no doubt, that it is better to look at the place of prostration. And if he looks at the Ka'bah in the present time, present, it causes distraction for him, because the people are circumambulating. So there is in this something that diverts from the prayer and from the humility in it.
