Sahih al-Bukhari 145 (Book 4, Hadith 11) #145
Answering the Call of Nature Facing Qibla or Jerusalem

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) answering the call of nature while facing Jerusalem, and how it is not necessary to face away from Qibla or Jerusalem when doing so.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: People say, "Whenever you sit for answering the call of nature, you should not face the Qibla or Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem)". I told them".Once I went up the roof of our house and I saw Allah's Apostle answering the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) (but there was a screen covering him'. .
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، وَاسِعِ بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا قَعَدْتَ عَلَى حَاجَتِكَ، فَلاَ تَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَقَدِ ارْتَقَيْتُ يَوْمًا عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَنَا، فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ مُسْتَقْبِلاً بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لِحَاجَتِهِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى أَوْرَاكِهِمْ، فَقُلْتُ لاَ أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ يَعْنِي الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَلاَ يَرْتَفِعُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، يَسْجُدُ وَهُوَ لاَصِقٌ بِالأَرْضِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident in which Abdullah bin Umar saw Prophet Muhammad answering the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing Baitul-Maqdis, also known as Jerusalem. The people around him were saying that one should not face towards either the qiblah or Baitul-Maqdis when answering such a call. However, this hadith shows us that it is not necessary to turn away from either direction when doing so. It teaches us that we should be respectful and modest even during such moments and maintain our dignity at all times. We can also learn from this hadith that we should always follow what has been taught by Prophet Muhammad as he was sent by Allah as a role model for us to follow in every aspect of life.
