Drinking Zam Zam water while standing
Question
We drink water by sitting, then why do we have to drink zam zam water standing ? If we are in Makkah and the water available there is zam zam, then should we drink it by standing everytime?
Answer
This is the etiquette.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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