Sunni Scholar Explains Why Umar Considered Urinating While Standing Better for the Anus
Bahr al-Madhhab v1 p139
The Sunni scholar al-Ruyani explains Umar's statement that urinating while standing is more protective of the anus: “When you sit to urinate, your buttocks spread apart, whereas when you stand, they remain closer together, making it better for the anus.”
فإن قيل: فما تأويل ما روي عن عمر - رضي الله عنه - أنه بال قائماً، وقال: البول قائماً أحصن للدبر؟ قلنا: أراد إذا تفاج قاعداً استرخت مقعدته، وإذا كان قائماً كان أحصن لها. ولعل هذا كان منه لعذر بدليل ما ذكرنا.
