The Ruling on Urinating While Standing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: May Allah honor you, is urinating while standing forbidden?
Answer:
No, it is not forbidden; it is disliked, disliked as a matter of disapproval (tanzih). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated while standing, especially if sitting would cause him to become impure. If he sat, his garment would become impure, so he urinated while standing. This is an excuse. Yes.
