Our country's law doesn't clearly stipulate which finger to use to press the fingerprint when signing the contract. Fingerprints are usually pressed with the thumb or forefinger of the right hand. According to the law of our country, if the parties enter into a contract in the form of a contract, the contract is established when the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.
