Kindly advise if salaah can be performed inside the Ka'bah if allowed to enter. If so, in which direction does one face.
Answer
It is permissible to perform salaah in the Ka'bah. During the conquest of Makkah, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) accompanied by some Sahaba entered the Ka'bah and performed salaah. One may face towards any direction while performing salaah in the Ka'bah as every wall of the Ka'bah is Qibla.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
