Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of what is reported in the hadith about Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
Both His hands are right?كلتا يديه يمين؟


Answer:
Yes, the hadith is to be taken at its apparent meaning: that Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)
Both His hands are rightكلتا يديه يمين
because the right hand is a noble attribute. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has both hands as right hands. He is described as having a right and a left, but His left is a right (Glorified and Exalted is He), this being a form of praise. Yes.
