Hi Mohamad,

If the ball touches your finger it is still considered part of the racket. Up to your wrist is part of the racket. Even if the ball touches your finger and then the racket on the same swing it is still legal.

The racket is allowed to touch the table. The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.

Doubles Serving Rules

In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
