Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it understood from the statement of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the place of relief, and his statement that he would exit the place of relief, that there were known places with specific boundaries for relieving oneself at that time?
Answer:
There is no doubt in their view that there were bushes and there were things prepared for relieving oneself. Some of them would go out to the open spaces, and the excrement would be outside. Some would do this and go to al-Baqi'. They were, and some had things in their homes for this. Yes.
