[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a person from eating with his left hand, for indeed Satan eats with his left hand.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الرَّجُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ

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.

None of you should eat with his left hand and drink with that (left hand), for the Satan eats with left hand and drinks with that (hand).
