Ruling on facing the bathroom during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She posed her question as follows: “I sometimes pray in my bedroom, acting on the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):. However, when I turn toward the qiblah, the bathroom is in front of me, with only about a meter between us, though there is a partition between the bedroom and the bathroom, which is the shared wall. What is the ruling on my prayer as I have described?”
Answer:
There is no harm in that. What is prohibited is praying in the bathroom. As for it being in front of the one praying, or to his right or left, there is no harm in that. And her praying in the bedroom is better, because it is further from showing off and further from being seen by men, so it is better. The further a woman is from men, the better it is, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained. Yes.

A woman’s prayer in her bedroom is better than her prayer in her house
