Question
In Saudi Arabia, home or office toilets are not as careful as in Bangladesh, so people are often forced to defecate facing or turning their backs on the Kaaba. They say, "In a four-walled bathroom, you can go back to the toilet wherever you want." What exactly do they say? What should we do in this case? 5498515822

According to the Hanafi school, it is makrooh to face or turn one's back towards the Qibla during urination, whether it is in an open field or surrounded by walls. There is a hadith which says, ‘When you sit down to urinate, do not face or turn your back towards the Qibla.’ This hadith makes no distinction between open space or enclosed walls. The Companions. Since the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) understood the meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), it is forbidden to sit facing the qiblah or with one's back to the qiblah even in a walled place. For example, Hazrat Abu Ayub Ansari agreed. The Companions agreed. When I visited Syria with a congregation, all the bathrooms in the country of the Nazarenes were against the Islamic way. However, they carefully turned their backs on the Qibla without facing or backing. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “If one forgets, one should sit facing the qiblah and sit in istanja; Then, as soon as he suddenly remembered, he moved away from the Qibla, but as long as it took him to get up from that seat and return to the other side, Allah forgave him before that. So in no case can you turn your face towards the Qibla or turn your back. When he is helpless, he will sit in the bathroom and take turns to meet his needs. 9351549198
