STANDING UP WHILE URINATING?

STANDING UP WHILE URINATING?

Sometimes, especially in public places, the toilets are not clean. If we were to sit on them there would be greater chances of getting impure. Some toilets don’t even have a place to sit. Hence, can one stand and urinate?

Answer:

A Muslim should take care when urinating. The Prophet (salla-Llaahu ‘alayhi wa-sallam) warned those who do not avoid impurity from urine drops. The proper and cleaner method is to sit down but sometimes, as you mentioned, it is not possible to do so, and therefore, it would be allowed to stand up. It is sometimes recommended to stand up of one thinks they are more likely to stay clean and away from urine drops.

O Allah! The (only) Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali (Protector, Helper, Supporter, Guardian, etc.) in this world and in the Hereafter, cause me to die as a Muslim (the one submitting to Your Will), and join me with the righteous.”
