Some people on the day of Jumu'ah are on the side; is it permissible for them to face the imam even if they have their backs to the people?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Some people on the day of Jumu'ah are on the side and cannot see the khatib; is it permissible for them to face the imam even if they have their backs to the people?

The Shaykh : He can face him with his face.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Also, having one's back turned is not a complete turning of the back; it can be left as is... it is not complete... and it is for an excuse and a need, and your companion excuses you in such circumstances.
