"By Allah, I do not know what I should do with these Karais (toilets). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When any one of you goes to defecate or urinate, let him not face toward the Qiblah, nor turn his back towards it."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ وَهُوَ بِمِصْرَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الْكَرَايِيسِ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْغَائِطِ أَوِ الْبَوْلِ فَلاَ يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا
"By Allah, I do not know what I should do with these Karais (toilets). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When any one of you goes to defecate or urinate, let him not face toward the Qiblah, nor turn his back towards it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 20)
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ بِمِصْرَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الْكَرَايِيسِ يَعْنِي الْكُنُفَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْغَائِطِ أَوِ الْبَوْلِ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that Rafiibn Ishaq, a mawla of the family of ash-Shifa who was known as the mawla of Abu Talha, heard Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, while he was in Egypt, "By Allah! I don't know how to deal with these lavatories." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you go to defecate or urinate, do not expose your genitals towards the qibla, and do not put your back to it."
عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ مَوْلًى لآلِ الشِّفَاءِ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَوْلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِمِصْرَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الْكَرَايِيسِ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ أَوِ الْبَوْلَ فَلاَ يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا بِفَرْجِهِ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ بِمِصْرَ يَقُولُ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الْكَرَابِيسِ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ أَوِ الْبَوْلَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ بِفَرْجِهِ»
[AI] I heard Abu Ayyub, who the Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited, saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you urinates or defecates, he should not face the Qibla nor turn his back towards it with his private parts."
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الَّذِي نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا بَالَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَوْ تَغَوَّطَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا بِفَرْجِهِ»
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When any one of you goes to defecate, let him not face toward the Qiblah, rather let him face towards the east or the west.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 22)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا وَلَكِنْ لِيُشَرِّقْ أَوْ لِيُغَرِّبْ»
[AI] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "When one of you goes out to relieve himself, let him not face towards the Qibla (direction of prayer) or turn his back towards it, rather let him face east or west."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا خَرَجَ أَحَدُكُمْ لِلْغَائِطِ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا وَلْيُشَرِّقْ أَوْ لِيُغَرِّبْ»
[AI] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "When one of you goes to the bathroom, he should not face the qibla (direction of prayer) nor turn his back to it. Rather, turn to the east or west."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْغَائِطِ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا وَلَكِنْ شَرِّقُوا وَغَرِّبُوا»
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When any one of you goes to the toilet, he should not face the Qibla (direction of prayer) nor turn his back towards it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْخَلَاءَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا»
"إذَا بال أحدكُمْ أوْ تَغَوطَ فلا يسْتَقْبلْ القِبْلةَ ولا يسْتدبْرها بِفْرجِه".
When any one amongst you squats for answering the call of nature, he should neither turn his face towards the Qibla nor turn his back towards it. (Using translation from Muslim 265)
"إِذَا جَلسَ أحدُكم على حاجتِه فلا يستقبلِ القبلةَ ولا يستدْبْرها".
"إِذَا ذهب أحدُكُمْ إلى الخَلاءِ فلا يستقْبلْ القِبْلَةَ ولا يستدْبرها".
"إِذَا ذهب أحدُكُمْ إلى الغائطِ أو البَوْلِ فلا يسْتقْبلْ القبْلةَ، ولا يستدبْرها بفَرْجه".
"إِذَا ذهب أحدُكُمْ إلى الغائط فلا يستقْبِلْ القبْلَةَ ولا يستَدْبِرها لغائط ولا بَوْل".
