    Wa alaykumsalam

    You are right brother we use the right hand to do things that are pure and we reserve the left to handle things that are impure. So when you're handing someone something, don't give it with your left hand hehe.

    If Allah afflicts you with a calamity, none can remove it but He;
    and if He intends to bestow a favour, none can withhold His bounty.
    He bestows it on whomsoever of His servants He pleases; He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

    Presumably if your dominant hand is your right then you shouldn't do much heavy lifting or balancing with your left hand. Other than that there are no health hazards associated with use of the left.

    I have a feeling that science will find something new about using the right hand. Our religion masha Allah, goes hand in hand with the scientific facts.

    Re: the use of right hand..

    What do left handed people do? I mean people who are naturally inclined to use their left hand for daily activities, such as writing, eating etc. Are they encouraged to train themselves to use the right hand instead?

    This was done an awful lot in catholic schools in Ireland where priests and nuns would beat the "devil" out of left handed children by tieing their left hand behind their back and making them write with their right and if they did use their left they would be hit until they did use their right. It did not work and people who were subjected to that sort of thing ended up with terrible handwriting and no dominant hand.

    Eat with the right hand but you can write with your left.

    It's a habit and inshallah you can train yourself to use the other hand.

    Having the habit of eating with one's left hand.

    Re: the use of right hand..

    God neither prefers right to left nor left to right! He is so just. Although we have to use right for pure things and left for purification, the right side of the body is controled by the left brain and the left side by the right brain. So our left brain is at work when we do pure things like eating and our right side of the brain is at work when we use the left hand, thus making things equal. Subhan-Allah (Allah is so High / Holy!) Thought I'd point this out.

    Also, don't make left-handed children eat with right hand when they are so young as it affects the speech. Do this after the speech is wll developed.

    Re: the use of right hand..

    I try to create a habit of using my right hand (i'm right-handed), but it was never an issue before reverting. Most Americans are taught to eat with both hands very early. By the time we reach adolescence, we play video games, type on the computer, and play musical instruments using both hands.
