لاَ تُسْتَقْبَلُ الْقِبْلَةُ بِغَائِطٍ أَوْ بَوْلٍ إِلاَّ عِنْدَ الْبِنَاءِ جِدَارٍ أَوْ نَحْوِهِ

The qiblah is not to be faced when defecating or urinating, except at a building, a wall or the like

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلاَ يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ يُوَلِّهَا ظَهْرَهُ، شَرِّقُوا أَوْ غَرِّبُوا ".
