Is there any Islamic belief that states that a kitchen should not be on the west side of a house?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
We have our kitchen in our house on the west side. One of our guest remarked that as per Islamic beliefs, kitchen should not be to west side. Is there any substance in it? Kindly clarify.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1460/1000/L=11/1434)

It is unlawful to build toilet in which face or back is directed toward qiblah side, but there is no wrong to build kitchen facing west side, it may be erected.
