regarding the ruling on facing the qiblah while urinating or defecating in a building?

The questioner : ... ؟

The Shaykh : Yes, it is not permissible to face the qiblah; it is forbidden. Yes, and this is a statement directed as a general Shari'ah ruling for Muslims, especially since its narrator—Abu Ayyub al-Ansari—when he came to Sham and found the toilets facing the qiblah, mentioned this hadith: . He said: "So we seek forgiveness from Allah, because the toilets are facing the qiblah." In fact, I have noticed here in the house I currently live in a violation of this hadith. There are many toilets, most of which, praise be to Allah, are not facing the qiblah, but the first toilet here, next to the door, is facing the qiblah. And I—unfortunately—had recently moved into this house, so I realized that I was facing the direction in which I pray while urinating or defecating. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, who narrated the hadith, understood that the hadith was in the general sense, and therefore he said: "We seek forgiveness from Allah," even though he did not build the toilet facing the qiblah with his own hands, because the houses there were Christian houses. Nevertheless, he said: "We seek forgiveness from Allah," because he could not defecate except in the place that was facing the qiblah. Your question is that the claim of specificity is established by evidence. This question is in its proper place, not because of its urgency, but because it is a fundamental principle. It is in its proper place because you attributed the motive to the claim that this is a specific case. Therefore, the stronger position is what we adopted—following many scholars of fiqh and hadith—that facing the qiblah is not permissible, whether in the desert or...
I have deductive evidence that refutes this theory and makes a Muslim never doubt its validity. We have hadiths that prohibit a Muslim from spitting toward the qiblah, and we have a hadith: "The Messenger saw a man spitting in the mosque toward the qiblah, so he prohibited and rebuked him for it," and , toward the qiblah while he is praying, praying in the mosque, or praying in a building. Every person of intellect and understanding knows or believes with me that spitting toward the qiblah is [worse] than defecating and urinating toward the qiblah. If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited a Muslim from directing his spit toward the qiblah, should he not prohibit directing his urine or feces toward the qiblah? There is no doubt that this falls under the category of: , meaning: do not strike them with your hand, a fortiori. This is a qiyas of priority (a fortiori reasoning) that is beyond doubt. How can a jurist who knows what he is saying say: It is not permissible to face the qiblah with spit in a building, but it is permissible to urinate and defecate in a building because of the presence of this barrier of walls? This is a wretched superficiality in distinguishing between similar things, not in distinguishing between correct qiyas and inverted qiyas! The correct qiyas is the qiyas of priority that is beyond doubt. How can we apply the hadiths prohibiting spitting toward the qiblah in a general manner, applying them fully, without distinguishing between spitting toward the qiblah in a building and spitting toward the qiblah...? This is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
