The authenticity of the hadith regarding eating with the right hand and drinking with the left hand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the authenticity of the hadith: "We eat with this and we push away with this," meaning eating with the right hand and drinking with the left?
Answer:
This is the command, but what was reported is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded eating with the right hand and forbade eating with the left hand, because Satan eats with his left hand, so is it not imitating him? And because the left hand is for removing impurities, whereas the right hand should be seen as an act of honoring and glorifying.
