Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, is it prescribed for one who intends to build to be cautious in this regard, or is it generally permissible to build facing the qiblah?
Answer:
No, it is best that one does not make the place of relief face the qiblah when constructing it. However, if a place has already been built and completed, there is no harm in relieving oneself in it. But initially, one should not face the qiblah with the place of excretion or the place where one relieves oneself. Yes.
