The Ruling on Using the Left Hand to Hold the Food and to Eat and Drink

Question :

Is it permissible to hold bread in the left hand, or is it not permissible? I noticed that approximately ninety percent of the people still take bread in their left hands in order to break the bread with the right hand, or they hold it.

This is because bread is flexible and it is not possible to eat it in the right hand without the left hand. I request your advice in this matter.

Answer:

It is permissible to hold bread in the left hand. But as for taking it and giving it to another with the left hand, it should be done with the right hand, in order to comply with good manners. As for eating, it is not permissible to do so with the left hand, when one is able to eat with the right hand.
And Allah is the Granter of success. And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, Muhammad and upon his family and Companions.
