Fatwa #424911 December 2001South Africa

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.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
