What is the ruling on drinking while standing?

The questioner : And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. The questioner says: What is the ruling on drinking while standing? Is there a prohibition regarding it? Is it a prohibition for the sake of making it forbidden, or for the sake of making it disliked?

The Shaykh : There is a prohibition from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding drinking while standing; he prohibited a person from drinking while standing. However, this prohibition is not for the sake of making it forbidden, but rather for the sake of making it disliked. This is indicated by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank from the water of Zamzam while standing, and he drank from a hanging leather water-skin. A "shan" is an old leather water-skin, an old water-skin. He drank from a hanging leather water-skin while standing. If the prohibition had been for the sake of making it forbidden, it would not have been permitted for such a minor need, because the forbidden is not permitted except in cases of dire necessity. Therefore, the correct view is that drinking while standing is disliked, and if there is a need for it, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
