Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to forbid us from facing the Qiblah with our private parts exposed when pouring water, or urinating (i.e., while relieving ourselves). The narrator states: Then, one year before the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) passing, I saw him urinating while facing the Qiblah.
