The ruling on holding the mushaf in the left hand

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner who received this question from one of the brothers, in which he says: Is there anything wrong with holding the Noble Qur'an in the left hand while reading? And if there is nothing wrong with it, and a person next to me disapproves of it, what should I say to him?

Answer:
Yes, it is better to hold the Qur'an in the right hand as a sign of respect for it, as a sign of respect for it, because the right hand is for desirable things, such as taking and giving, the salam, and taking good things. As for the left hand, it is for removing harm. So it is better to carry the mushaf in the right hand as a sign of respect for it, unless the left hand is occupied or disabled, in which case there is no harm in holding it in the left hand. Yes.
