The ruling on urinating while standing and wiping against a wall

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to urinate while standing? And is it permissible to wipe against the wall, or to wipe against the wall in the presence of water?

Answer:
Yes, it is all permissible, and praise be to Allah. It is permissible to urinate while standing, but it is better to urinate while sitting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did both; he urinated while sitting, and that is the predominant practice of his (peace and blessings be upon him). It is said that he urinated while standing because he had a disability or ailment that required him to stand, and it is said that he did it to demonstrate its permissibility, and this is the correct view. However, one should take care to prevent the splashing of urine. As for wiping, one wipes against the wall; this is called istijmar, whether with a wall, a stone, or anything that serves the function of a stone in cleaning the area and drying it. There is no harm in that. Yes.
