Is there anything wrong with doing wudoo’, drinking or urinating whilst standing?

Praise be to Allah.A Muslim may do wudoo’ in whatever way is easy and practical for

him, whether sitting or standing. He may also drink standing or sitting, although it is

better to drink sitting down. He may also urinate standing up if necessary, as long as no

one can see his ‘awrah (private parts which should remain covered) and there is no

danger of the urine coming back on him. It is better to urinate sitting down, because this

is how the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did it in most cases.
