The Prohibition Of Turning One's Back Towards The Qiblah When Relieving Oneself

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."
