Question
A person who is one-handed on the right side – how should he conduct himself regarding the requirement to recline on the night of the Seder? In the Biur Halachah the matter remains unresolved as to what a one-handed person on the right side should do, but the Shibolei HaLeket writes that anyone may recline on the right side, and so it appears from the Radbaz and other poskim. May I, in practice, as someone who is one-handed on the right side, rely on these poskim and recline on my right side on the night of the Seder?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
According to halacha, a one-handed person on the right side does not recline.
