Is it permissible to stone the Jamarat with the left hand?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is preferable to cast the pebbles with the right hand, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, loved to start with the right in all his affairs. However, if one casts with the left hand, it is permissible, though he would have abandoned the preferable act, unless there is a valid excuse.
