Salam to all,
This issue refelects many people living in the West. I am British and my husband is Pakistani. All my life, when using a knife a fork I have held the fork in my left hand, purey because it was the way in which I was raised. I know well that a Muslim should eat with his/her right hand, but when it comes to knives and forks, I hold my knife in my right hand because i find it easier to control, whereas if i held knife in my left hand and fork in my right i know I'd cause a mess everywhere. My husband has threatened to hit me on this issue, but i was wondering if Im causing a haram act while doing this. IS this sinful or is it just something small that doesnt even matter?
Wasalam
