(Book 14, Hadith 1) #35507
Etiquette of Using Lavatories

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the etiquette of using lavatories, and how one should not expose their genitals towards the qibla or put their back to it.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that Rafi ibn 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, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, while he was in Egypt, "By Allah! I don't know how to deal with these lavatories". The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you go to defecate or urinate, do not expose your genitals towards the qibla, and do not put your back to it".
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، مَوْلًى لآلِ الشِّفَاءِ - وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَوْلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ - أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ بِمِصْرَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الْكَرَايِيسِ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ أَوِ الْبَوْلَ فَلاَ يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا بِفَرْجِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect for God’s House and be Modest while using lavatories

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about proper etiquette when using lavatories. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when we go to use a lavatory, we should not expose our private parts towards the qibla or have our backs facing it. This is an important lesson in modesty and respect for God's house. We must remember that even though we are in a private place like a bathroom, we must still maintain respect for God's house and be modest in our actions. It is also important to remember that this applies even if you are alone; you should still maintain respect for God's house at all times.
