351 - Chapter on the prohibition of defecating on people’s road, in their shades, and in their sources of water

Allah Almighty says: {Those who abuse believing men and women for something they did not commit, they will bear the burden of slander and flagrant sin.} [Surat al-Ahzāb: 58]

1771/1 - Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Avoid the two things that provoke cursing.” They said: “What are the two things that provoke cursing?” He said: “Defecating on people’s roads or in their shades.” [Narrated by Muslim]

Guidance from the Hadīth:

1) The Shariah forbids anything that disturbs the places where people move, gather, or rest. This is one of the excellent aspects of the Islamic legislation.

2) The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were keen to understand the Prophet’s intent; that is why they inquired about what he exactly meant. This is the proper attitude of every believer, as he should be keen to understand the Islamic teachings so that he can apply them correctly.
