Using the Miswak with the Left Hand

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it true that the prescribed way of using the siwak is with the left hand, not the right?

Answer:
Yes, because using the siwak is removing a nuisance from the teeth, and that is done with the left hand. Yes.
