Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Well, praise be to Allah.

The questioner : Shaykh, is it permissible for a left-handed man who writes with his left hand to write verses of the Qur'an for the purpose of knowledge and treatment?

The Shaykh : Repeat. Repeat.

The questioner : Is it permissible for a left-handed man who writes with his left hand to write the Noble Qur'an for the purpose of treatment and knowledge?

The Shaykh : The one who uses his left hand, meaning what?

The questioner : That he writes the verses of the Qur'an.

The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt. A person who does not use anything but his left hand is permitted to write the Qur'an and the hadith, and anything else we want.
