The ruling on the salam and returning it with the left hand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person deliberately raises his left hand and uses it to point when greeting people, or when returning their greetings, what is the ruling on that?
Answer:
It is not permissible to use the left hand for the salam, unless a person has no right hand, in which case he uses the left. But if he has a sound right hand, the right hand is designated for noble matters, and the left hand is designated for removing harm, cleaning, and the like. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
