Ruling on facing or turning one's back to the qiblah when relieving oneself

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who said that turning one's back to the qiblah was abrogated, but facing it was not?

Answer:
No, the matter is broad in this; it is the building.
Q: It is said that it is specific to the building?
A: It is a matter of consideration; the closer view is that there is no dislike, but it should be, meaning, as a precaution and to avoid disagreement; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did it to clarify the permissibility for the Ummah, may peace and blessings be upon him.
