The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

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.
