In the hadith: “None of you should hold his penis with his right hand while urinating.” Is touching the penis with the right hand forbidden only during urination?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was reported in a hadith from the Prophet
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Nobody should touch his pennies with his right hand when urinatingصلى الله عليه وسلم لَا يُمْسِكَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَهُوَ يَبُولُ
Bulugh al-Maram 96
So, is touching the penis with the right hand forbidden in all circumstances, or is it only during urination?

Answer:
No, it is forbidden in all circumstances, but it is more emphasized during urination. As for touching it when not urinating, that is also not permissible; rather, if one needs to touch it, he should touch it with his left hand.
