The ruling on holding the mushaf in the left hand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible, O Shaykh, to hold the mushaf with the left hand and open the pages?
Answer:
It is disliked (makruh) to handle it directly, unless there is an impediment in his right hand, and he uses his left hand for things because of an impediment in his right hand; in that case, there is no harm in doing so. Otherwise, it is better to take the mushaf with the right hand, and to open it and turn its pages with the right hand, as an honor for it; because the right hand is used for what is good, and for good things such as eating, drinking, taking, giving, greeting, and the like. As for the left hand, it is for removing harm and other things intended for cleaning or purification. Yes.
