Holding the vessel in the left hand and supporting it with the right hand when drinking

 


ASSALAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAHI WABARAKATUH 

Praise be to ALlāh.


It is proven in the Sunnah that we are instructed to eat and drink with the right hand, and we are forbidden to do that with the left hand. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may ALlāh be pleased with him) that the Messenger of ALlāh (blessings and peace of ALlāh be upon him) said: “When one of you eats, let him eat with his right hand, and when he drinks, let him drink with his right hand, for the shaytaan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand.”


Narrated by Muslim, 2020


It was narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah (may ALlāh be pleased with him) that the Messenger of ALlāh (blessings and peace of ALlāh be upon him) said: “Do not eat with the left hand, for the Shaytaan eats with the left hand.”


Narrated by Muslim, 2019.


If a person needs to use both hands, there is nothing wrong with that because of the report which says that the Prophet (blessings and peace of ALlāh be upon him) drank from a waterskin and a bucket, which usually needs both hands. Hence the scholars granted a concession allowing the use of both hands when necessary.


An-Nawawi (may ALlāh have mercy on him) said: Our companions said: if he drinks with both hands cupped and has a ring of silver on his finger, there is nothing wrong with that.


End quote from al-Majmoo‘, 1/316


Al-Qurtubi (may ALlāh have mercy on him) said in his commentary on the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “except him who takes (thereof) in the hollow [ghurfatan] of his hand” [Al-Baqarah 2:249]: Some of the commentators said: al-gharfah means in the hollow of one hand and al-ghurfah means in the hollow of both hands. And some commentators said that both mean the same thing.


‘Ali (may ALlāh be pleased with him) said: ,Hands are the cleanest of vessels.


The one who wants to consume only that which is halaal nowadays with no doubts whatsoever should drink with his hands water from springs and rivers at any time of night or day.


End quote from Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 3/253, 254

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners

Additionally, community health practitioners often work in understaffed healthcare settings, leading to increased workloads and reduced capacity to meet community needs.
