The Meaning of "Both of His Hands Are Right"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for your well-being, Honorable Shaykh. Abu Salim asks: Are we required to say that both of His hands are His right hands?

Answer:
Yes, indeed,
Both His hands are rightكلتا يديه يمين
(Glorified and Exalted is He), yes, it is not as is said, "left hand"; Allah is not described as having a left hand. He is described as having a hand, which does not resemble the hands of the created beings. Both of His hands are right hands; both of His hands are right. He has two hands, (Glorified and Exalted is He); He has two hands,
to that which I created with My handsلِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ
[Sad 38:75]
, He has two hands, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and both of them are right.
