Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani was asked:

Questioner:

What is more deserving, our Shaikh, when counting. Do you begin with the right hand or the left hand…?

Shaikh:

Yes, of course you begin with the Sunnah

Questioner:

With the right?

Shaikh:

Yes. As for you starting with the left hand?

Questioner:

[Like when counting] eleven or one hundred?

Shaikh:

As for the left hand, then this is the way of the disbelievers

Questioner:

Mashallah…”
