The Ruling on Giving a Book with the Left Hand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Do the people of the North who receive their books with their left hands refer specifically to disbelievers? Or is it a general ruling that includes Muslims who commit major sins?
Answer:
This applies to disbelievers. As for a Muslim, even if he commits major sins other than shirk (associating partners with Allah)—meaning he is a Muslim—he is given his book with his right hand.
