When in prayer in front of the Ka’bah

Reference: Sharh ‘Umdatil-Fiqh – Tape No.9, Question No.27

Question: When in prayer, where should our sight be focused whilst standing in front of the Ka’bah?

Response: Your sight should be focused on the spot where you will be prostrating. [Whilst in prayer], you should not be looking at the Ka’bah, and instead be looking at the spot where you will be prostrating.
