Is it allowed to pass urine in the standing position if one can be sure that no urine can splash or reach one's clothes?
Question
This question is asked because some people here claim that they have seen some mosques in Amman with WC containing urinals for standing position micturition.
Answer
It is prohibited to stand and urinate in normal circumstances. It will only be permissible if a person has a valid excuse, for example, unable to sit.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
