Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Following up on the question
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : In the authentic Sunan of Abu Dawud
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Ah, in two hadiths. The first hadith is from Ibn 'Umar, where the narrator, who is a Tabi'i, says: I saw 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar arrive, he dismounted his mount, and then he sat facing the qiblah and urinated. I said: O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, is it not forbidden to urinate toward the direction of the qiblah? He said: Yes, but if that is in an open desert. The meaning of the hadith is
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : As for if there is nothing between you and it, then there is nothing, so there is no dislike or no prohibition. This is the second hadith. The second hadith is that he said, I think Jabir says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a year before he passed away, urinating toward the direction of the qiblah?
The Shaykh : As for the hadith of Jabir, the answer regarding it has already been given
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And the conclusion is that it was done. As for the hadith of Ibn 'Umar, it is mawquf, so it has no value in contradicting the marfu'
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
