Marwan Asfar narrates: I saw Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) make his she-camel sit facing the Qiblah, then he sat and urinated facing it. I said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman! Has this not been prohibited?" He replied, "Yes! But it has been prohibited in open space. When there is something between you and the Qiblah as a barrier, then there is no harm in it." This narration is authentic and all its narrators are trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from this, "When we (relieve ourselves and afterwards) pour water over our private parts, we should neither turn our backs towards the Qiblah nor face it." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: After that, I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) one year before his apparent passing, he was urinating while facing the Qiblah. All the narrators of this narration are trustworthy, and the narrator named Ibn Shaukar has transmitted these words: "We should neither face the Qiblah nor turn our backs towards it."

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Once, in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it was mentioned that some people dislike facing the Qiblah or turning their backs to it while relieving themselves. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed them to go to a place for relieving themselves that was facing the Qiblah. Imam Daraqutni states: In the chain of this narration, between the narrator named Khalid and the narrator named Iraq, there is a narrator named Khalid bin Abu Salat.

Khalid Juza’ narrates: Those people were present with Umar bin Abdul Aziz, and he said: "Since I reached adulthood, I have never relieved myself facing the Qiblah." ‘Iraq bin Malik was present with him, and ‘Iraq said: Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) has narrated this: Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to know that some people disliked this matter, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave instructions regarding their toilet, and thus its direction was set towards the Qiblah. A similar narration has also been transmitted.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard about some people who disliked facing the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, so under the command of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the sitting place for their toilets was turned towards the direction of the Qiblah. This narration is more authentic. Some other narrators have also transmitted this narration.

Khalid bin Abu Salat narrates: I was sitting with Umar bin Abdul Aziz during his caliphate, and Iraq bin Malik was also sitting with him. Umar bin Abdul Aziz said: "For such a long time, I have never faced the Qiblah nor turned my back to it while urinating or defecating." So Iraq said: Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated this hadith to me, she said: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) learned about the opinion of some people, by his order, the direction of their toilet was turned towards the Qiblah. In this narration, there is greater accuracy in the chain, and there is the addition of the narrator named Khalid bin Abu Salat, and this is correct.

Iraq bin Malik narrates from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ordered: "Turn my toilet to face the Qibla." Yahya bin Ishaq, the narrator, reports: Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came and people were discussing the dislike of facing the Qibla while urinating or defecating, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "These people are saying this, you turn my toilet to face the Qibla."

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The direction of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) toilet was set towards the Qiblah by his order, when he came to know that some people disliked this matter.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) for some task. When I entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was in the toilet, sitting on two bricks, relieving himself, and his face was towards the Qiblah. Shaykh Abul Hasan (Imam Daraqutni) says: The narrator Isa bin Abu Isa Hannat is weak.

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not face the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, nor turn your back towards it. Rather (from the perspective of Madinah), face towards the east or the west."
