Sunan Abi Dawud

Chapter 1 · Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ الأَصْفَرِ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ يَبُولُ إِلَيْهَا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَلَيْسَ قَدْ نُهِيَ عَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، إِنَّمَا نُهِيَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فِي الْفَضَاءِ، فَإِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ شَيْءٌ يَسْتُرُكَ، فَلَا بَأْسَ .

I saw Ibn Umar make his camel kneel down facing the qiblah, then he sat down urinating in its direction. So I said: Abu Abdur Rahman, has this not been forbidden? He replied: Why not, that was forbidden only in open country; but when there is something between you and the qiblah that conceals you, then there is no harm.
