Is it a penalty kick when a keeper has the ball in his hands and a foul is committed in the penalty box?
A foul does not have to be near the ball. A foul must occur (1) by a player, (2) on the field of play, (3) against an opponent, and (4) while the ball is in play. If the foul you describe is by a defender, against an attacker, in the defender's penalty area then play is stopped and a penalty kick awarded. Depending on the severity, it could also be misconduct.

Can a player be fouled inside the penalty box and not be awarded a penalty?
