Am I sinful for eating with my left hand?

Slide 1
Previous Next

QUESTION:

Is it sinful to eat with the left hand for no reason?

ANSWER:

It is Makruh (disliked) and should be avoided as mentioned in Sharh Tariqa Muhammadiyah of Imam Nabulusi.

Other Madhahib have narrations of it being Haram in which it will be a sin.

Allah knows best.
