Bulugh al-Maram 98

Narrated Abu Ayub (May Allah be pleased with him)

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) “Neither face nor turn your back to the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, but turn towards the east or the west”. [Reported by the As-Sab’a]

وَلِلسَّبْعَةِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { لَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا اَلْقِبْلَةَ بِغَائِطٍ وَلَا بَوْلٍ, وَلَكِنْ شَرِّقُوا أَوْ غَرِّبُوا } 1‏ .‏
