The Ruling on Slaughtering with the Left Hand

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who slaughters with his left hand if he is unable to do so with his right hand?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, because it is preferable to slaughter with the tongue—meaning, if the one slaughtering mentions the name of Allah, there is nothing wrong with it, but it is preferable. Yes.
