Looking At Ka’bah Whilst In Salaah

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Mahmoodiyah

Question:

Assalamualaikum .Is it jaiz to look at the Ka’bah whilst performing Salaah in Masjid Haraam, Makkah?
Jazakallah Khair.
Wassalaam


Answer:

 

 

It is not advisable to look at the Ka’bah while performing Salaah in the Haram of Makkah as this goes against the etiquettes of Salaah, because keeping your gaze lowered in Salaah is one of them.

 In fact some of the Fuqahaa have explicitly mentioned; and the gaze should be kept lowered in Salaah even though you are standing in front of the Ka’bah in Makkah. [Nihaayatul Muhtaaj]

May Allah Ta’ala keep you steadfast. Ameen.         

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
