Summary
Intercourse while facing the qibla is not considered makruh (disliked). This is the view of the Shafi'i school and the majority of scholars, except some scholars of the Maliki school. Nevertheless, it is better to avoid it out of respect for etiquette and good conduct.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan tersebut tidak makruh, ia merupakan pandangan mazhab Imam Syafi'i dan majoriti ulama kecuali sebahagian ulama mazhab Maliki.
