Question:
The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Do not face the qiblah when relieving yourself of urine or feces, but rather face east or west" has caused me confusion. If one faces east, one has one's back to the qiblah, and if one faces west, one faces the qiblah. Is it possible to clarify this?
Answer:
Answer: Turn away from the qiblah and keep it to your side.
