The ruling on slaughtering a sheep on its right side

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this action contrary to the Sunnah, namely slaughtering the sheep on its right side instead of the left?

Answer:
Or it is permissible on the right side or on the left side, but on the left side is better so that one can manage to slaughter it, and because this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. This is easier for the one slaughtering to hold the knife in his right hand.
