Starting with the right hand when pouring coffee and serving drinks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You mentioned that it is our custom when entering to start with the one on the right, even if he is young. Likewise, for example, when pouring coffee, the person carrying the coffee starts with the one next to him. Does this fall under that, O Shaykh?
Answer:
He enters, because the Companions begin by offering the salam, starting with the prayer and blessings, then he gives to the person on his right. If he enters with water, milk, or something else, he starts with the head of the gathering, and then the head of the gathering gives to the person on his right, unless the person on his right allows him to give to the person on his left, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, (peace and blessings be upon him).
