The ruling on a man urinating while standing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a man urinating while standing, and is it part of the Sunnah?

Answer:
For a need, there is nothing wrong with it. For a need, there is nothing wrong with it. If he is unable to sit, or if the place is dirty, and if he sits in a garbage dump or a dirty place, and if he sits, something of the dirt will get on him, then he urinates while standing. There is no meaning to it other than that he should be careful of the urine so that it does not splash on him. As for if he has no excuse, the Sunnah is that he urinates while sitting. Yes.
