Friends I want to get your thoughts on this. There is problem right now with liberal Muslims trying to corrupt hadith teachings and make you think a man does not have to sit down to pee.
Here is one liberal website where they push this idea a man can just stand up and take his thing out and spray pee everywhere:
Is it haraam to urinate standing up?
Now I hope you wise people of Landover Church can see what is going on here! You can see they think they are clever, and can take advantage of small, small room for doubt, and use that to undermine Islamic teachings on this subject.
You know we have a saying, if you let a camel get his nose under your tent, pretty soon you will have a camel in your tent!
Now compare the above liberal nonsense to what it say on my favorite online fatwa guide:
The ruling on urinating while standing
As you can see, when we follow sound teaching, we understand that NO, just because The Prophet (pe.ace be upon him) maybe went pee in someone's garden while standing up, that does not mean we should pee standing up!
No kind of proper, good, decent man who loves God will pee standing up.
A REAL MAN SITS DOWN TO PEE!
Here is one liberal website where they push this idea a man can just stand up and take his thing out and spray pee everywhere:
Is it haraam to urinate standing up?
What is the Shari ruling regarding standing while urinating?
There is a hot debate here regarding this. Wile some claim that it is permissible others claim it is haram. Their argument is that there is a hadith in which Aisha says that whoever tells you that the prophet urinated while standing do not believe him. Please clarify the issue.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not haraam for a man to urinate standing up, but it is Sunnah for him to urinate sitting down, because ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “Whoever tells you that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to urinate standing up, do not believe him. He only ever used to urinate sitting down.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, al-Tahaarah, 12; he said, this is the most saheeh report on this topic. It was also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 11). And because this is more concealing, and it reduces the risk of any drops of urine splashing up onto him.
It was narrated from ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Umar and Zayd ibn Thaabit (may Allaah be pleased with them) that it is allowed to urinate standing up on the condition that there is no risk of drops of urine splashing onto one’s body or clothes, and that one does not expose one's ‘awrah, because al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated from Hudhayfah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to a garden belonging to some people, and urinated standing up. There is no contradiction between this and the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), because it is possible that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did that because he was in a place where he was unable to sit down, or he did that to show the people that it is not haraam. This does not contradict the basic principle mentioned by ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) urinated sitting down, because it is Sunnah, it is not something waajib (obligatory) which it is forbidden to go against. And Allaah knows best.

The ruling on urinating while standing
Question:
What is the ruling on a person urinating while standing, is it forbidden or permissible?Answer:
It is not forbidden for a person to urinate while standing, because it has been authentically reported by al Bukhari and Muslim, on the authority of Huthaifah, may Allah be please with him, that the Prophet (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) came to the rubbish pit of a people and urinated while standing (al-Bukhari no.226).Permission to urinate standing has also been narrated from Umar, Ali, ibn Umar and Zaid bin Thaabit, may Allah be pleased with them, due to the above mentioned Hadith.
But it is prescribed by the Sunnah for a person to urinate sitting, according to the words of A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: ‘Whoever told you that the Prophet(Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) urinated standing, do not believe him. He did not urinated except sitting.’ (At-Tirmithi no.12 and an-Nisaa’i no. 29) at-Tirmithi said: ‘This is the best and most correct saying in this matter – also because it is better to guard and protect him from being splashed with his own urine.’
