Assalamu Alaikom Brother rafiq
Regarding eating with the Right: The Prophet Mohammad PBUH recomended that we eat with the right hand,and Nevere speaks from Vacum, but it is a revelation. Who knows?
The prophet however,stressed that we eat with the right arm. And another example that can fall within the same query you posted is his asking us not keeping DOGS inside our houses. He never explained why, niether does the Quran.The places where the Quran speak of Dogs have nothing to show about what harm the dog can bring inside of the house, forexample in Sorat Al-kahf the Ayas speak of the people of the Cave and they accompanied a dog which remained witth them inside the cave where they died and were resurrected again! Now comes the Scientific discoveries that show up between time and then: The Skin of Dogs proved to have one strain of Bacteria that can cause Blindness, and can cause Liver dysfunction if touched without cleaning.
The Prophet explained many things about dogs though, and we should not drink/eat from the same pots they breath in!!!!!!
It is a revelation, it is never come from vacume!
I wish this explains to you why we have to abide by the Sunnah of the Honest& Trustworthy illitrate Prophet Mohammad PBUH.
We abide by his speech because we trust he wants the best for us.
May allah bless you and your family, Brother
Ur Brother In Islam
