What is the ruling on urinating while standing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on urinating while standing? And is there a difference in this matter between when it is in the open or on the ground?

Answer:
Urinating while standing out of necessity is permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did so out of necessity. If the place is not suitable for sitting because it is dirty or would cause contamination, or if you are unable to sit due to pain in your legs, there is no harm in urinating, but you must protect yourself from the spray of urine. Yes, it is permissible to urinate while standing when there is a necessity, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did so. Yes.
