Salam Alaycoum!

We all know that we're not allowed to "Eat" with our left hands, as Prophet Mohamad Peace be upon him said: ( "Eat" with your right hand and "eat" from what is in front of you). but what about drinking? Is it allowed to "Drink" with our left hand? What's the Ruling in this? :confused:

“When any one of you eats, let him eat with his right hand, and when he drinks, let him drink with his right hand, because the Shaytaan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand.” (Reported by Muslim, 3764).
The Shaytaan eats with his left hand so the person who eats with his left hand resembles the Shaytaan, indeed the Shaytaan is sharing his food with him. Ahmad reported with a hasan isnaad from ‘Aa’ishah and attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever eats with his left hand, the Shaytaan eats with him.” (Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi, commentary on hadeeth 1721).

Hafsah (may Allaah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to use his right hand for eating, drinking and getting dressed and his left hand for everything else. (Reported by Abu Dawood, no. 30)

here are some sunnah of drinking and first one u can see is drinking with right hands. you can ask islamqa. for the sources.

Drinking with the right hand.
To say Bismillah before you begin to drink.
Drinking at least three sips or more and not drinking the entire drink at once.
To praise Allah after finishing the drink.
To drink sitting down.
The person giving the drink to others should drink last.
The person passing out the drinks should start on his right hand side when distributing the drinks.
An individual should not drink from the pitcher, but instead pour some of the drink into a dish or cup, and then drink.
A person should not drink from gold or silver dishes.

PS: i dont know the meaning of name junaid. but there were a great scholar called junaid baghdadi. and since i started to practise islam i changed my name and choosed that one.

Salam

What does this mean for foods that take 2 hands to eat them (like a sandwich or corn on the cob, for example)?

Does this have anything to do with using the both hands for preparing foods?

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله

(33) Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: When any one of you intends to eat (meal), he should eat with his right hand. and when he (intends) to drink he should drink with his right hand, for the Satan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand. (Book of Sahih Muslim#023, Hadith #5008)

Commentary: It is desirable to use the right hand in all deeds, Eating, drinking, Wearing cloths, Taking a shower, Hand shacking...etc.

757. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to breathe three times in the course of a drink (he used to drink in three gulps).
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: Water should be drunk in three breaths, that is one should breathe three times outside the drinking vessel one is drinking from. This habit has a salutary impact on one's character and helps one avoid doing things in haste.

758. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Do not drink in one gulp like a camel, but in two or three (gulps). Mention the Name of Allah (i.e., say Bismillah) when you start drinking and praise Him (i.e., say Al-hamdu lillah) after you have finished (drinking).''
[At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: This Hadith, too, prohibits us from drinking water in a single breath. It is preferable to say Bismillah every time we drink, and Al-hamdu lillah every time we stop drinking.

759. Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) forbade breathing into the vessel while drinking.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) prohibited us from breathing in the drinking vessel because the bad smell or spittle may flow into the drink. This is both loathsome as well as injurious to one's health.

760. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Milk mixed with water was brought to Messenger of Allah (PBUH). On his right side was sitting a bedouin and on his left was sitting Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him). He (PBUH) drank from it and handed the rest to the bedouin saying, "One who is on the right has preference, then again the one who is on the right.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: When finished from drinking and passing it to others, always pass it to the one sitting on your right.

(197) Hadith 1
Ibn Abbas radiyallahu anhu says, “Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam drank Zam-zam water while he was standing.”

Narrated Bukhari, Ali (ra) related that Rasulullah(saw) said , "let none of you drink while standing."

Commentary: It is desirable to dring while sitting, but you can drink while standing when in a hurry or unable to sit.
