On the authority of `Abdullah Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

No one should eat or drink with his left hand for Satan eats with his left hand and drinks with it.

(Reported by Muslim)






Lessons Deduced:
1. It is disapproved to eat or drink with the left hand because this is the habit of Satan.
2. Like eating and drinking, every honorable act should be done with the right hand. But every dirty act should be done with the left hand.
3. Islamic teachings cover all aspects of human manners and behavior
