Question

Where should the gaze of a musallee be in the different positions of salaah?

Answer

Fix the gaze on the place of sajdah during the standing posture, on the feet in the posture of ruku, on the nose in sajdah, on the area between the lower chest and lap whilst in sitting, and when making salaam on either side fix the gaze on both the shoulders.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
