Question:
The obligatory prayer inside the Ka'bah?
Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement on this, and the correct view is that there is no harm in praying there; the prayer is valid, though some scholars hold that it is not valid. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed inside it, and the general principle is that if a voluntary prayer is permissible, then the obligatory prayer is permissible, unless there is evidence to the contrary.
However, the prescribed Sunnah is for the imam and the people to perform the obligatory prayer outside the Ka'bah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did.
