What is the ruling on eating with the left hand for one whose right hand is broken?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man’s right hand is broken, so is it permissible for him to eat or drink with his left hand?

Answer:
He is excused, there is no doubt about that. If he has no right hand, he eats, takes, receives, and gives with his left hand.
