Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is it required when relieving oneself for a person to turn away from the qiblah, or is it sufficient to turn away from it partially?
The Shaykh:
As mentioned previously, the condition is that one places the qiblah to his side, turning away completely, a complete turn such that the qiblah is to his side, neither in front of him nor behind him.
The questioner:
And other than that, the bathrooms in this age are called the balcony.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the place for relieving oneself is called a khala', and any place where one relieves oneself is called a khala' and a hasha', even if the method differs. Yes.
