What is the ruling on urinating while standing, and what must one do if some of its spray hits him?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What is the ruling on urinating while standing, may Allah honor you, and what is obligatory for the one who is hit by some of its spray?

Answer:
Urinating while standing is permissible out of necessity, such as if there is no place suitable for sitting. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated while standing out of necessity, provided one takes care that the spray of urine does not hit him. If something does hit him, he washes it. Yes.
