The ruling on urinating while standing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He asks: What is the ruling on a man urinating while standing?
Answer : It is permissible for a man to urinate while standing, but with two conditions. The first condition is that he is safe from being looked at, meaning there is no one around him looking at him, because if he urinates while standing and there is someone around him looking, they would be looking at his private parts, and looking at the private parts is forbidden. The second condition is that he is safe from contamination, meaning he is safe from the urine splashing on him. Based on this, he cannot urinate while standing on a tiled floor, why? Exactly, because if he urinates, the urine will splash on him and contaminate him. And he cannot urinate while standing if there is someone around him looking at him.
So if he is safe from contamination and safe from the onlooker, there is nothing wrong with it, because urinating while standing is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), as in the hadith of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

He came to a people’s latrine, meaning a dump, and urinated in it while standing.
