The Ruling on Urinating While Standing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question: What is the ruling, may Allah honor you, on a person urinating while standing? Are there any proofs for this, or not?

Answer:
It is permissible when there is a need, if one is unable to sit, or if the place is not suitable for sitting. In that case, you urinate while standing, but you must take precautions against the splashing of urine. This is something the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when there was a need; he urinated while standing when there was a need, due to the pain in his leg that made it difficult for him to sit. Yes.
