The Ruling on Urinating While Standing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on urinating while standing, may Allah honor you? Is it a prescribed matter?

Answer:
It is permissible when there is a need. If one needs to urinate while standing, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated while standing. If he does not need to do so, and if sitting causes him to become soiled, he should be careful and urinate while standing; there is nothing wrong with that.
