My son is 6 years old. My wife and I have noticed that he prefers to use his left hand to write with. I know in my heart that our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) preferred all good things be done with the right. My wife believes we should not force our child to switch hands and make him feel pressured. What should we do?
Answer
Many people by nature are left handed and there is nothing un-Islamic in
that.
