The reciter: Hafs ibn 'Umar narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, saying: Ash'ath ibn Salm informed me, saying: I heard my father from Misraq from 'Aishah, who said: Bulugh al-Maram 44.

means in wearing the sandals; if he intended to put on his sandals, he would start with the right, and if he took them off, he would start with the left, and if he put them on, he would start with the right.
And likewise in combing his hair, meaning combing his hair and applying oil to it, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to have long hair and would comb it. However, the scholars said that it should be done occasionally, meaning the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade combing except occasionally, meaning he did not make it every day, but rather one day and then the next, so that he would not be occupied with these matters to the neglect of what is more important than them.

We say yes. The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said: The left hand is preferred for filth and dirt, and the right hand for everything else. So there are three things: what is disgusting, what is approved, and what is neither this nor that. The left hand is preferred for the disgusting and the filthy, and for everything else, the right hand is preferred.
Now, does this include wearing the garment and the shirt?
Yes, the right sleeve is put on before the left, and likewise for the leg. And a person should be mindful of these matters so that he attains much good, so that his habits become acts of worship. Many of us are negligent of this and forget it. You find that a person does not take off the left before the right, nor put on the right before the left, and likewise with the shirt and likewise with the trousers. This is a matter that a person should utilize time for with intention and presence of mind, and if he accustoms himself to it, he will become accustomed to it, but if he is negligent, he will forget.
