Eating with the left hand due to an excuse
Question
Eating with the left hand is haram. But my grandfathers right hand was injured and now since 45 years he was eating with left hand because he is unable to eat with right hand. Is this correct?
Answer
He is excused.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
