Commentary
Public garbage and slaughterhouses are places of unpleasant smells and dirt and also has the definite possibility of impurity. No person of good nature would like to perform an act of worship at such a place. Offering prayer in a graveyard resembles the polytheists and grave worshippers; doing so in the middle of the path is troublesome and causes difficulty for the people, because the path will be closed and the person himself will not be at rest. Praying on the roof of the House of Allāh is disrespectful and the direction of the person will not be towards the House of Allāh.
