Q: I have read many religious books in which I found some contradicting Hadiths. For example, I have read that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade
drinking while standing
and in another Hadith, he (peace be upon him) drank while standing. I also have read that he forbade
urinating while standing
and in another Hadith, he (peace be upon him) urinated while standing. Similarly, I have read that he (peace be upon him) forbade listening to music and in another Hadith, he (peace be upon him) listened to music with
Abu Bakr.
What is the degree of authenticity of these Hadiths? May Allah reward you good!
A:
The basic ruling is that a person should drink while sitting, and this is better. However, it is permissible to drink while standing. The Prophet (peace be upon him) did both to indicate that the matter is flexible.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
