Question:
If one enters the Hijr and places the Ka'bah behind him, is his prayer valid?
Answer:
The entire area of the Hijr is part of the Ka'bah, except for its small end, which is about seven cubits; all of it is part of the Ka'bah. However, what is prescribed is that one should face the Ka'bah, as the Ka'bah is standing in the Hijr.
