29. It was narrated from Qatādah, from 'Abdullāh bin Sarjas, that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited from urinating in burrows. They said to Qatādah: "Why is it prohibited to urinate in burrows?" He replied: "It is said that these are the places that the jinn inhabit." (Da'if)

Arabic text

29 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى أَنْ يُبَالَ فِي الْجُحْرِ»، قَالُوا لِقَتَادَةَ: مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ فِي الْجُحْرِ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ يُقَالُ إِنَّهَا مَسَاكِنُ الْجِنِّ

Commentary

Holes and burrows are also the dwelling-places of harmful animals. Urinating into them may cause harm. Ignoring open spaces in favor of holes is unwise.
