Tasbih with the Left Hand and Using the Miswak with It

The questioner:
And Honorable Shaykh, I advise you to fear Allah. With you is tasbih in the left hand, and likewise in the miswak.

The Shaykh:
Tasbih with the left hand is permissible, but the most preferred and best is tasbih with the right hand; this is the preferred option. If one does tasbih with the right and left hands, that is permissible, because there is no evidence prohibiting it. The utmost is that it is recommended to do tasbih with the right hand, from the perspective of recommendation, not from the perspective of obligation. As for using the miswak with the left hand, this falls under the rule that has passed: whatever is of the nature of removing a nuisance is done with the left hand.
Using the miswak is removing a nuisance from the mouth, so it is done with the left hand, meaning one holds the miswak with the left hand; because it is removing a nuisance, which is the smell of the mouth and the remnants in the mouth. Yes.

The questioner:
O Lord, O Lord. O Lord.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
Visit.

The Shaykh:
The discussion on the attribute is not on the basis of Sufism. The basis of Sufism is worship, but the attribute of Sufism is that it is done with the left hand. One holds the miswak with the left hand because it is removing a nuisance, and removing a nuisance in this case is worship.
