Giving an item to the person on the right first

Q: According to the Hadith, when giving something we should give the person on the right first. If a non-Muslim is on the right and a Muslim is on the left, does the non-Muslim have the right to be given first or should the Muslim be given first?

A: Give it to the Muslim first.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
