What does Islam say about using the left hand to write with?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

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.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
