Is it forbidden to give something to someone who extends their left hand to receive it, even though using the right hand is recommended?
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, loved to start with the right in all his affairs as much as he could. He would take with his right hand and give with it. It is commendable for a Muslim to follow his Sunnah in this regard, making his right hand for everything that signifies honor. If he refrains from giving to someone who takes with their left hand, as a reminder of the Sunnah, this is correct. There is no harm in giving to someone who takes with their left hand.
