Can one perform prayer inside the Kaaba?

AnswerEditorialShejire Editorial

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) entered the Kaaba and performed prayer inside it (Bukhari, Hajj, 51,52 [1598, 1599], Salat 30 [397]; Muslim, Hajj, 388-394 [1329]; Muwatta', Hajj, 193). Therefore, prayer performed inside the Kaaba is valid. This is because what is meant by the Kaaba is not just the building, but the place and area upon which the building stands (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, 2/254). A person praying inside the Kaaba may face any direction they wish.
