313. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of All31 g said: 'I am to you like a father to his son, and I teach you. So when you go to relieve yourselves, do not face the Qiblah or turn your backs towards it.' He ordered us to use three pebbles, and he forbade us to use dung a n d bones, and he forbade cleaning oneself with the right hand." (Hasan)
313 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَكُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ لِوَلَدِهِ، أُعَلِّمُكُمْ، إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ، وَلَا تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا. وَأَمَرَ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ. وَنَهَى عَنِ الرَّوْثِ، وَالرِّمَّةِ. وَنَهَى أنْ يَسْتَطِيبَ الرَّجلُ بِيَمِينِهِ»

It is not allowed for a person going out to urinate or relieve himself, either to sit facing the Qiblah, or turning his back towards it. Scholars consider the ruling applicable to the open areas and fields, since sitting inside the lavatory with the back turned towards the Qiblah is proved from the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ himself. (Bukhârî: 148 & Muslim: 266) Prophet's order to use three pebbles for cleansing is meant to ensure greater degree of purity. In case one is using water for purification, then there is no need to use the pebbles or lumps of clay. Interdiction on the use of dung and bones for purification stems from the fact that Allâh has willed that they be the food of the jinns.
