Is it haram to wipe with your right hand?

Approved answer

The Use of Hands for Cleaning

According to Al-Nawawi, it is not permissible to use the right hand for cleansing oneself after using the restroom, whether for urination or defecation. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize the left hand for the removal of najaasah (impurity), regardless of whether the entire hand or just a part of it is employed.
