The Ruling on Urinating While Standing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Our Shaykh, another question that came in for this session: this person asks, saying: I heard that there is a prohibition against urinating while standing. Is there leniency for boys in this matter?

Answer:
It is permissible to urinate while standing, especially if one needs to do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to urinate while sitting, and sometimes he would urinate while standing if he was careful to prevent the spray of urine. Specifically, if he needed to do so because he had an injury and could not sit, or if the place was contaminated and he feared that sitting would contaminate his clothes, there is no harm in urinating while standing, but one must be careful to prevent the spray of urine. Yes.
