Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person wants to relieve himself in the desert, and then the wind faces him, and he fears that impurity will fall on him because the wind is blowing against him, is it permissible for him to face the qiblah while relieving himself?
Answer:
He should find a place where he finds a spot on the ground that shields him from the wind, whether it is a tree, a mountain, or a spot on the ground, and he should not face the qiblah.
