The reciter: Mu'adh ibn Fadhalah narrated to us, saying: Hisham, who is al-Dustawa'i, narrated to us from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir from Abdullah ibn Abi Qatadah from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 153.
The Shaykh : The prohibition of wiping oneself with the right hand is considered by the majority of scholars to be disliked (makruh). The wisdom behind this lies in two aspects:
The first aspect is honoring the right hand, for the right hand should be honored and not used to touch filth.
The second aspect is that things may cling to the right hand, which is the tool for eating and drinking. Things may cling to it that water does not remove, causing harm to the person. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited wiping oneself with the right hand.
As for wiping oneself with stones, the second cause is absent, but the first cause remains, which is honoring the right hand.
And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1889Sahih (Darussalam).
The scholars said: The wisdom behind this is that if one breathes, the water may splash out, because the breath goes up and the water goes down, so it splashes.
The second is that this breathing may carry pains and harmful substances...
Whenever anyone of you drinks water, he should not breathe in the drinking utensil, and whenever anyone of you goes to a lavatory, he should neither touch his penis nor clean his private parts with his right hand.
