Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people say "May your left hand be your right" when a person gives them a need with his left hand. Is there anything wrong with this saying?

Answer:
This is in the case of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but for a created being, his left hand does not become his right. This is specific to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
