Giving to one who will only take with his left hand

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If I give someone something and he refuses to take it except with his left hand, is it permissible for me to give it to him with my left hand?

Answer:
If he has a defect and can only take with his left hand, there is no blame on you. But if the person is sound, you should forbid him from doing this. You tell him that this is imitating the disbelievers and Satan, and you forbid him from it. If you do not give it to him, that serves as a deterrent for him. If you do not give it to him, this is a deterrent for him. Good. Yes. Mm.

May Allah reward you,
