Is it permissible for a Muslim to face the Qiblah or a Qur'anic verse, or to turn his back to them, while naked (not relieving himself) when changing clothes or during intercourse?
Scholars have not mentioned a ruling on facing the Mushaf while naked, but turning one's back to it in other circumstances is disliked, and in a state of nakedness, it is even more disliked. There is no dislike in facing or turning one's back to the Qiblah when changing clothes at home. Some jurists have permitted facing or turning one's back to the Qiblah at home during intercourse. The majority of scholars permit spouses to be naked during intercourse, while the Hanbalis dissented.
