Giving and taking with the right hand
Question
I heard that its better to give money or pay somebody with your left hand and when you receive, its better to use the right hand. Is there anything like this in Islam?
Answer
The Islamic etiquette is that you give and take with the right hand.
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.
