Chapter 20: The Prohibition Of Turning One's Back Towards The Qiblah When Relieving Oneself - كتاب الطهارة

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا لِغَائِطٍ أَوْ بَوْلٍ وَلَكِنْ شَرِّقُوا أَوْ غَرِّبُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

It was narrated from Abu Ayyub that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Do not face towards the Qiblah nor turn your backs toward it when defecating or urinating, rather face toward the east or the west."
