اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ بِبَوْلٍ " ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ بِعَامٍ يَسْتَقْبِلُهَا .
´It was narrated that Jabir said:` "The Messenger of Allah forbade facing the Qiblah when urinating. But I saw him, one year before he died, facing the Qiblah (while urinating)."

Brief Explanation
1؎: Jabir radi Allahu anhu understood that this prohibition was general for both the open desert and «بنیان» (inhabited area), and for this reason he considered it abrogated (mansukh), that the last action of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam abrogated the prohibition. If the prohibition is considered specific to the open desert and field, then there will be neither any contradiction between the two actions, nor will there be any need to consider one as abrogating the other.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
From the statement of Jabir radi Allahu anhu, it apparently seems that he considers this prohibition to be abrogated. However, if the prohibition is specified for open places, or if avoidance is considered superior and turning (one’s face) is deemed permissible, then there will be no need to consider it abrogated.
And Allah knows best.

Benefits and Issues
It is argued from these hadiths that it is permissible to turn one's back towards the Ka'bah in constructed toilets within houses. However, considering all the hadiths related to this issue, the preferred opinion appears to be that one should avoid this, as has been mentioned in the benefits and issues of Sunan Abu Dawood, hadith number [11]. For details, see: [الروضة الندية شرح الدررالبهية، باب ترك الاستقبال واستدبار القبلة]
