Combining the hadith prohibiting facing the qiblah with the hadith of Ibn 'Umar

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
We do not seek refuge in the qiblah from excrement or urine, nor do we turn our backs to it.لا نستغفر قبلة بغائط ولا بؤ ولا تستدفروها
This is the hadith of al-Ahmar that
'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I spent one night at the house of Hafsa and I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) relieving himself from the direction of the Levant, with his back to the Ka'bah.عمر رضي الله عنهما قال أبيت يوما على بيت حفصة وأيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يأخذ الحاجة من الشام ويستدفع الكعبة
How do we combine the two hadiths?

Answer:
Combining the two hadiths is clear: there is no harm in a building; there is no harm in a building to face it or turn away from it. As for in the open space, this is forbidden and not permissible; in the open space, this is forbidden and not permissible. So the hadith regarding the building specifies the general hadith of prohibition. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
