(ח) שאין בו מחיצות - אבל אם יש בו מחיצות ואפילו רק מחיצה אחת לצד מערב ישב בצד המחיצה בסמוך לה [דהיינו עכ"פ בתוך ד' אמות] ואחוריו למערב כלפי המחיצה ונפנה שם וכן אם הכותל במזרח יושב בסמוך לה ואחוריו למזרח ויש מחמירין בזה מפני שפירועו שלפניו הוא לצד מערב והשכינה במערב ובמקום שאפשר טוב להחמיר .כתב הפמ"ג דאין שיעור לגובה המחיצה רק כל שאין פירועו מגולה עי"ז שרי

English Translation

In which there are no partitions - However, if there are partitions there, and even only one partition to the west side, one should sit on the side of the partition, close to it (meaning, at least within four amot), with his back to the west toward the partition, and he should excrete there. Similarly, if the wall is on the east side, one should sit close to it with his back to the east. There are those who are strict regarding this because his frontal nakedness will face west and the Shechinah is in the west. In a place where it is possible, it is good to be strict. The Pri Megadim wrote that there is no minimum height for the partition, as long as one's nakedness is not exposed — then it is permitted.
