The hand with which one holds the miswak when using it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. When using the miswak, which is better: using it with the right hand or the left hand, considering that it is a form of cleaning?

Answer:
Using the miswak is done with the left hand because it is part of removing impurity, so one holds the miswak in his left hand because it is part of removing impurity.
