The answer

Among the merits of ablution (Wudu') is giving precedence to the right limb over the left, which is recommended when washing the hands and feet, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "When one of you performs ablution, let him begin with his right (side)." Beginning with the right is recommended in all good deeds. The child should be advised and accustomed to this merit from a young age.
