Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to drink water while standing?
Answer:
It is permissible, but it is better to sit down; it is better to sit down. This will come, if Allah wills. It is better to drink while sitting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes drank while standing, as in his drinking from the water of Zamzam, where he took a bucket and drank from it while standing, (peace and blessings be upon him). So there is nothing wrong with drinking while standing, but it is better to do so while sitting. Yes.
