Sitting and drinking

Q: With regards to sitting whilst eating or drinking, does this only apply to full meals, or even when one is drinking a few sips of water or fruit etc. I was in the habit of always sitting even if drinking a little bit of water, but someone told me that I don't need to sit because it's not a meal. Please clarify.

A: Both are permissible. However, to sit and drink is better.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
