Best Answer

An indirect free kick may be awarded in the penalty area. It is not promoted to a penalty kick.

If it is in the goal area, the kick location must be moved away from the goal line to the top of the goal area (6 yards out).

It is called handling.

If it was deliberate handling, and the player was not the goal keeper, then play would be stopped and restarted with a penalty kick for the opposing team.

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?

"Foul" is a term used to describe an offence punishable by a direct free kick. If a defender fouls an attacker in the defender's penalty area then a penalty kick is the prescribed restart. There's a loophole in your question. What if the attacker fouls the defender in the defender's penalty area? A direct free kick is awarded to the defense.
