Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on drinking while sitting? And what is the authenticity of the hadith of 'Ali: "Whoever drinks while standing, let him induce vomiting"?
Answer:
Yes, it is better for a person to drink while sitting; that is the best. It is permissible to drink while standing. So this falls under the category of: "Does he induce vomiting?" Perhaps this was the case at the beginning, and then what clarifies or abrogates this matter came, which is that drinking while standing or sitting is permissible, but drinking while sitting is better.
