Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

We found a house for rent, but the problem is that the toilet faces either the direction of the Qiblah or directly opposite it. Is it permissible for us to rent this house?

Answer

In the name of Allah, my dear son, you must avoid facing the Qiblah or turning your back to it during urination and defecation. You should position yourself so that the Qiblah is to one of your sides. You are not responsible for the construction of the toilet, only for your own actions. If you are able to request the landlord to modify its direction to make it easier for you to use, then do so. Allah knows best.
