Do you wash your hands before eating and drinking? Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to do this and we should follow.

In a hadith reported by Nasai, ‘Aisha (RA) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) used to always wash his hands before eating and drinking.

There is great emphasis in Islam to wash our hands and keep them clean. This helps prevent cross-contamination. The performance of wudhu starts with washing the hands.

Muslims should wash their hands before and after every meal. We are recommended to take food with our right hand and to clean ourselves with the left.
