Good deed #347 : Sit and drink
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade us from drinking while standing. Qatadah reported: “We asked him: ‘What about eating?”‘ He said: “That is even worse, (or may be he said) more detestable.”
Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reprimanded us for drinking while standing.
[Muslim].
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “None of you should drink standing; and if any one forgets, he must vomit.”
[Muslim].
Amr bin Shu’aib on the authority of his father and grandfather reported:
that they saw Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drink standing, and sitting.
[At-Tirmidhi].
The last three Ahadith point out the permissibility of eating and drinking while walking or standing or sitting, but drinking in the sitting position remains the best.
