The ruling on taking the mushaf with the left hand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on taking the mushaf, that is, the Qur'an, with the left hand?
Answer:
He owes nothing, if his intention was not to insult. It is a pardon, so taking it with the right hand or the left hand, he has not committed any sin. Nothing is wrong with it, but taking it with the right hand is better as a sign of respect for him. And if we do not know of anything in it, if he did not become angry out of insult or with an intention of ill will.
