Explanation of the author's statement: "And he raised his garment before approaching the ground"

The Shaykh :"And he raised his garment before approaching the ground" Raising the garment means that the one relieving himself should not raise his garment before approaching the ground. This is in two cases. The first is if there are people around who can see him; in this case, raising the garment before approaching the ground is forbidden because it exposes the private parts to those who can see them, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited that. The second case is if he exposes himself while alone, with no one present. Is this disliked or not? This depends on the permissibility of exposing the private parts when a person is alone. The scholars have three opinions on this: permissibility, dislike, and prohibition. The school of thought (madhhab) states that it is disliked to raise the garment before approaching the ground if there is no one looking. If there is someone looking, it is forbidden. It is disliked if there is no one looking because it involves exposing the private parts without need. Is that not so? You are exposing your private parts without need. The need arises when you are close to the ground, but while you are far away, there is no need for it. They also say that exposing the private parts in the place of relief is forbidden, but we said that it is disliked rather than forbidden because the exposure here is for a reason. The excess or the added element is that he begins doing so before it is permissible for him to do so. Therefore, they say it is on the level of dislike, not on the level of prohibition. The author's statement, "And he raised his garment before approaching the ground," if he intends to urinate while standing, this is permissible; he may raise his garment while standing. However, we say that the one standing is close to relieving himself because he will relieve himself while standing. Urinating while standing is permissible, especially if there is a need, but with two conditions: that he is safe from soiling and that he is safe from the gaze of onlookers. He must be safe from soiling and safe from the gaze of onlookers. It is established in the two Sahihs from the hadith of Hudhayfah: The scholars said that he did that because it was permissible. Other scholars said that he did that out of need, because the latrine was near a group of people gathered who were looking at him. If he sat at the top of it with his back to them, his urine would splash back onto them. If he sat at the top of it facing them, he would have exposed his private parts in front of them. So the only option left was for him to stand with his back to the people, which necessitated urinating while standing. As for the hadith that this was due to a trace in... it is weak. Likewise, the claim that the Arabs used to treat knee pain by urinating while standing is weak. However, yes, it is possible that if the Arabs' knees hurt them when sitting, they might urinate while standing out of need. Yes, that is correct.
