What is the ruling on urinating while standing?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Or what?
The questioner: Urinating while standing
The Shaykh: As for drinking while standing, the prohibition of it is authentic, indeed the warning against it
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And he informed that whoever drinks while standing has drunk with Satan. As for urinating while standing, the prohibition of it is not authentic. It came in a hadith of Ibn Majah but its chain is weak. However, the ruling on urinating while standing differs. If one urinates and the spray does not return to him, it is permissible, there is nothing wrong with it. But if the spray returns to him, it is not permissible to urinate while standing in this case. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to this in some of the authentic hadiths, among which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) Bulugh al-Maram 103 And there is also in that the hadith of al-Bukhari from Ibn Abbas that he passed by two graves and said Sahih Muslim 292a And in a narration Sahih al-Bukhari 218 to the end of the hadith
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And therefore, the ruling on urination is related to the spray, negatively or positively
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: And peace be upon you
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

Do not urinate while standing
لا تبل قائماBeware of (smearing yourselves with) urine, because it is the main cause of punishment in the grave
استنزهوا من البول فإن عامة عذاب القبر منهThey (their occupants) are being tormented, but they are not tormented for a grievous sin. One of them
أما إنهما ليعذبان وما يعذبان في كبيرة أما أحدهما فكان لا يستنزهOne of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other used to go about with calumnies
لا يستتر من البول وأما الآخر فكان يسعى في النميمةThe questioner : Yes.
