The ruling on putting the left foot forward when entering the bathroom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It becomes a surplus. Greetings to you. Her spirit. The issue of entering the barber's shop with the left foot: is there evidence from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or is the issue based on analogy, where the right is for honorable matters and the left for other things?
Answer:
This is analogy. This is a general principle. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) puts the right foot forward for desirable things and the left foot forward for removing annoyance. This is the legal principle. So this falls under the principle. He said: the left foot in the bathroom before the right. This falls under the legal principle because the left is put forward for removing annoyance and repulsive things, while the right is for good things.
