Chapter No. 2, The Chapters of Purification and its Sunnah
Hadith No: 318
Narrated/Authority of Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari
"The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade the person who went to the Gha'it* to face the Qiblah. He said: 'Face towards the east or the west.'"** (Sahih)
*Gha'it refers to defecation, and to the hole in which one defecates.
**This applied specifically to the people of Al-Madinah because the Qiblah for them was towards the south.
