Urinating While Standing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks, along with Shaykh Salih, may Allah honor you: My young son is urinating while standing, as he has just started learning to relieve himself. A relative told me that it is not permissible to urinate while standing. What is the ruling? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
It is permissible to urinate while standing, especially if one needs to do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated both sitting and standing when he needed to. If one fears the spread of urine or the splashing of urine, there is no harm in a person urinating while standing. Yes.
