Assalaamu `alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh. Does anyone have any daleel with regards to where the sight should be during Rukoo`? I read somewhere that it should be between the feet when you are in Rukoo`, so I am unsure at the moment. Jazaakumullaahu khairan.

wa'alaykum salaam warahmatullaah Bismillaah Taken from the book: "The Clarified Ruling Of Mistakes Done In Salaah" By: Mashhoor Hassan Al-Salmaan (Hafidhahullah) Raising one`s eyesight up wards or else where except the place of prostration: One of muslims` mistakes when doing Salaat is raising one`s eye sight towards the sky, the Imaam, to the left or the right, the thing which paves the way for waswasah and Sahwu to take place. A muslim is ordered [by the prophet (salallahu`alayhe wasallam)] to lower his/her gaze downwards to the prostration spot,(2) except in Tashahhud in which case one`s eye sight should be directed to one`s [right] index finger only. It was affirmed that the prophet (salallahu`alayhe wasallam) never moved his eye sight beyond his index finger.(3) Al-`Izz Ibn Abdis Salaam was asked about those who believe that`the one doing Salaat should direct his eye sight toward his feet when doing Rukoo' , to his nose when doing Sujood and to his lap in the sitting posture`, is their opinion supported by any hadeeth,`Athar or even a rationale?? He answered [as reported] in his Fataawaa (p. 68):`This is not true; their opinion is not based on any kind of evidence whether from the Qur`aan or Sunnah. Allaah (Azza Wa Jall) knows best`. [Proofs from the Sunnah]: (1)`Aishah said:`I asked the prophet (salallahu`alayhe wasallam) about the Hukm of looking here and there in Salaat`. He (salallahu`alayhe wasallam) said:`This is the portion which Shaitaan steals from one`s Salaat`.(4) (2)`Anas (RadhiAllahu Anhu) said: the prophet (salallahu`alayhe wasallam) said:`what is the matter with those who raise their eyesight towards the sky in their Salaat`, then he (salallahu`alayhe wasallam) spoke angrily saying:`Unless they stop doing such an act, their eyesight will be taken away form them`.(5) (3) Aboo Hurairah (RadhiAllahu Anhu) said: The prophet (salallahu`alayhe wasallam) said:`Unless those who raise their eyesights towards the sky when reciting Dużaa in their Salaat stop doing such a thing, their eye sight will be taken away from them`.(6) (4) Jaabir Ibn Samurah (RadhiAllahu Anhu) said: The prophet (salallahu`alayhe wasallam) said:`Unless those raising their eye sights in Salaat towards the sky stop doing such an act, their eye sights will never be returned back to them`.(7) The aforementioned ahaadeeth state clearly the grave threat addressed against those who raise their eye sights towards the sky in Salaat; accordingly, all the`Ulamah agreed on the prohibition of such an act.(8) It is also detested for a muslim to look here and there in Salaat for no need,(5) as stated in the first hadeeth, for this is from Shaitaan who causes a muslim to be distracted form his Salaat. Such an act was refered to [in the hadeeth] as `stealing` for Shaitaan snaps a portion of a muslim`s Salaat so easily with out facing any sign of defense form the part of the prayer. When a muslim looks here and there in his Salaat, Shaitaan seizes this chance at once and steals some of the muslim`s attention lest he be fully given to his Rabb.(9) Such an act does not, however, nullify one`s Salaat except when one turns his back to the Qiblah, as Ibn Abdil Barr stated; he said: żThe Jumhoor agreed that looking here and there does not render one`s Salaat null and void provided that it is slight`. It is also detested for a muslim to perform his Salaat towards that which may distract one`s attention from Salaat or in a place full of pictures or even on a carpet attractively decorated, as was mentioned previously. This all distracts a muslim`s attention from being fully given to Salaat or fully directed towards the Qiblah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) See: the article in `Al-Mujtamaż magazine` (issue no. 855) titled with` Tanbeehaat żAlaa Ba`di`Akhtaa` Allatee Yafżaluha Ba`dul Muslimeen Fee Salaatihim`.
