The ruling on relieving oneself facing away from the Ka'bah in a building
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When Ibn 'Umar found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the house of Hafsa relieving himself facing toward Sham and facing away from the Ka'bah: is this to be understood as a private matter?
Answer:
No, it is not a private matter. It indicates that it is not forbidden in a building, and that if one faces toward or away from the Ka'bah in a building, there is no blame on him. The prohibition is only in the desert.
