We don’t have to look at a certain spot during rukoo`
Q: “Where does the one praying look during rukoo` (bowing)?”
Shaikh al-Albaani:
“He is not obliged to look at a certain spot like he should when he is standing and when he is sitting for the tashahhud. So when he is standing, he looks at the place of his prostration; and when he is sitting during the tashahhud, he looks at his (right index) finger. But during rukoo`, there isn’t a specific spot toward which we were commanded to look, so the matter is unrestricted.”
