  "en": "In lexicon yamin is the right side or limb, the opposite of yasar, and it also names the oath because men pressed their right hands when swearing alliance; in fiqh the senses under discussion are the right hand and the right side. The jurists recommend putting the right first in everything that honours, such as ablution, washing, eating and entering the mosque, and putting the left first in whatever involves harm or lowliness, such as blowing the nose and cleaning after the privy; most schools also hold it sunna to place the right hand over the left in prayer. {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.18005} {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.18007}"
