(יז) ביד ימין - מפני שקושר בה תפילין על זרוע השמאלי ועוד טעמים אחרים עיין בגמרא וטוב ליזהר מלקנח באצבע האמצעי שכורך עליו הרצועה וכתבו האחרונים דאיטר יד שכל עניניו עושה בשמאל מקנח בשמאל דידיה שהוא ימין כל אדם ואם כותב בשמאל ושאר מעשיו עושה בימין או להיפך עיין בבה"ל

English Translation

With his right hand - Because one ties tefillin with his right hand onto his left arm. There are additional reasons given in the Gemara, and it is proper to be careful not to wipe with the middle finger [of the left hand] because the strap [of the tefillin] is wrapped around it. The Achronim write that a left-handed person who does everything with their left hand should wipe with "his left", which is the right hand of most people. If he writes with his left hand but does everything else with his right or vice versa, consult the Biur Halacha.
