Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on facing the Qiblah or turning one's back to it while relieving oneself?
Answer:
If it is in the open, it is forbidden. As for if it is in a building, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and the stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that there is no harm in doing it inside a building. Yes.
