Giving an item to the person on the right first
Question
According to the Hadith, when giving something we should give the person on the right first. If a non-Muslim is on the right and a Muslim is on the left, does the non-Muslim have the right to be given first or should the Muslim be given first?
Answer
Give it to the Muslim first.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
