Facing one's back towards the qiblah while bathing

Q: Can a person face his back towards the Qiblah while bathing?

A: If one is naked while bathing, then one should refrain from facing towards the qiblah. As for facing one's back towards the qiblah, we have not come across any clear statement in the kitaabs, but we deem this incorrect.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
