Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person is in the place of relief and finds nothing with which to cover himself, is it permissible for him to go behind a group of camels, for example, and hide behind them?
Answer:
Just as you heard in the hadith of Ibn 'Umar, that he urinated behind a she-camel between him and the Ka'bah, and he said that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only intended that if there was no barrier between him and the Ka'bah, or words to that effect exist in your text, yes.
