Is it permissible for a person to urinate while standing, and is this action part of the Sunnah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person to urinate while standing, and is this action part of the Sunnah?

Answer:
It is not part of the Sunnah, but it is permissible when there is a need. I do not say that it is recommended for me or that it is mustahabb (recommended) for me to say, and I am saying this, but it is permissible when there is a need. If you cannot sit, or if the place is impure and you cannot sit in it, or if you have something that causes you pain and you cannot sit, there is nothing wrong with you urinating while standing, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did on some occasions out of necessity. Yes.
