Not all Muslims eat with their hands. But, there are several reasons why some do. It is reported that Rasool Allah ate with his hands, and that if you wash your hands before eating, you know that the utensil you are using is clean.

∙ 15y agoThis custom isn't confined to Muslims, and goes back partly to the days when proper sanitation - and toilet paper - wasn't an option, and fresh water for washing wasn't readily available. These conditions still apply, of course, in many parts of the world. So, to put it delicately, one hand is reserved for handling food while the other is kept for other purposes, and this tradition is maintained even in modern kitchens. I was privileged to watch, in an Indian kitchen, chefs and assistants working with one hand behind their backs at a speed I couldn't reach with both hands and possibly even an extra arm!

∙ 13y agoMuslims eat with their right hand as the right hand represents all things good and just whereas the left hand is known as the hand of the devil.( nothing offensive to left handed people) they believe that the left hand should be used to clean ones parts so should not be used for eating.
