(43) بَابُ ذِكْرِ خَبَرٍ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الرُّخْصَةِ فِي الْبَوْلِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ بَعْدَ نَهْيِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُ مُجْمَلًا غَيْرَ مُفَسَّرٍ،Chapter 43: Report on the Prophet’s permission to urinate facing the qiblah after his general prohibition
Hadith 58
اُردوEn
قَدْ يَحْسَبُ مَنْ لَمْ يَتَبَحَّرْ فِي الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ الْبَوْلَ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ جَائِزٌ لِكُلِّ بَائِلٍ، وَفِي أَيِّ مَوْضِعٍ كَانَ، وَيَتَوَهَّمُ مَنْ لَا يَفْهَمُ الْعِلْمَ، وَلَا يُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ الْمُفَسَّرِ وَالْمُجْمَلِ أَنَّ فِعْلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا نَاسِخٌ لِنَهْيِهِ عَنِ الْبَوْلِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ
A person of little knowledge may understand from this that facing the Qiblah while urinating is permissible for everyone and everywhere. A person who lacks understanding and insight of knowledge, and who cannot distinguish between the specific and the general, may be led to think that the action of the Prophet ﷺ abrogates the prohibition of urinating while facing the Qiblah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ بِبَوْلٍ ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ بِعَامٍ يَسْتَقْبِلُهَا "
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade us from facing the Qiblah while urinating, then I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) facing it (while urinating) one year before his death.

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]

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.
