Answer:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is preferable that a person carries out all noble deeds from his right. In a narration of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, Ayesha (May Allah Ta’ala be pleased with her) has said,
حدثناحفصبنعمرقالحدثناشعبةقالأخبرنيأشعثبنسليمقالسمعتأبيعنمسروقعنعائشةقالت: كانالنبيصلىاللهعليهوسلميعجبهالتيمنفيتنعلهوترجلهوطهورهوفيشأنهكله
“Nabi صلياللهعليهوسلمloved his right when wearing shoes, combing, for his purification and in fact for all good.”
However, if a person is unable to write with his right hand he will be excused and it will be permissible for him to write the Quran with his hand.
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum
