Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man is left-handed, meaning he slaughters with his left hand, is it recommended for him to place the sacrificial animal on its right side?

Answer:
Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong with it. They said it should be on the left, but that is only because it is easier for the one slaughtering. So if it is easier for him to place it on the right, he does that. Yes.
