Holding the Miswak in the Right or Left Hand

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is prescribed regarding the miswak? Is it held in the left hand or the right hand?

Answer:
No, it is held in the left hand. One begins with the right side of the mouth, that is the beginning. As for holding the tool, it is done with the left hand; because it is removing a nuisance, and removing a nuisance is done with the left hand.
