Summary
Scholars are divided between those who prohibit and those who permit urinating while standing. This fatwa reconciles the evidence by ruling that it is permissible, while urinating in a sitting position is preferable because it was the Prophet's most frequent practice. Those who permit it require that it be done in a place hidden from public view to protect the awrah, and that care be taken to avoid urine splashing onto clothing.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dibolehkan kencing secara berdiri berdasarkan hadis Huzaifah, manakala yang lebih afdhal adalah kencing secara duduk kerana itulah yang paling kerap dilakukan oleh Rasulullah S.A.W bahkan inilah sunnah baginda sendiri.
