Are you sick? Have you been suffering from an ailment or disease? Or maybe you’re just exhausted and tired?
Well, there’s a way out of all that Bi idhnillaah.
And that’s through Hijaamah or Cupping.
🍃The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“The BEST treatment you can use is Hijaamah (cupping).” (al-Bukhaari 5371)
🍃 And he said:
“Healing is to be found in three things: drinking honey, the knife of the cupper, and cauterization of fire.” (al-Bukhaari 10/136)
🌷*Hijaamah is a Sunnah of the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam *
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam himself got Hijaamah done on himself and so did the Sahaabah.
🍃 Ibn ‘Abbaas radhi Allaahu anhu said
that the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam
was treated with Hijaamah, and he paid the cupper his fee.” (al-Bukhaari 10/124, Muslim 1202).
🌷Hijaamah is so good even the Angels recommend it!
🍃 The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“I did not pass by any group of angels on the night of the Isra’ [the Prophet’s night journey when he was taken from Makkah to Jerusalem and back in the course of a single night], but all of them said to me, “You should use cupping, O Muhammad.”
(Ahmad - saheeh by al-Albaani)
🌷So what is Hijaamah exactly?
Hijaamah is also called wet cupping. It’s where a trained individual makes very tiny superficial (virtually painless) “cuts” on certain parts of the body, using a sharp blade and then applies special suction cups over the area and some of the blood oozes into the cups.
Hijaamah is non-invasive, quick and easy and least painful, yet very effective to cure a lot of ailments from acne to arthritis to heart disease to fatigue with the permission of Allaah Alhamdulillaah.
AND it’s the recommendation of our beloved Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam.
🔺 Any specific days?
Do keep in mind that there are no authentic reports from the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam specifying a certain day of the month for getting hijaamah done.
According to the majority of the scholars, the ahaadeeth about specific days or dates on which hijaamah is to be done are not authentic.
So you can get hijaamah done ANY time of the month, especially if it’s needed.
🍃 Imaam Maalik was asked about cupping on Saturdays and Wednesdays, and he said:
“There is nothing wrong with that; there is no day on which I have not had cupping done, and I do not regard any of that as makrooh.”
[Al-Muntaqa Sharh al-Muwatta’ (7/225)]
🍃 The scholars said:
“Most of the leading scholars have stated that all the hadeeth in these two categories (about hijaamah) are da‘eef and not one of them is soundly narrated from the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam.” (Islamqa Fatwa # 128170)
🍃 And they said:
“(Cupping is permissible) on all days, even Saturdays and Wednesdays.
In fact Maalik deliberately used to have cupping done on those days, and he did not regard any kind of medical treatment as makrooh on those two days.
The ahaadeeth which warn against cupping on those days were not regarded as saheeh by Imaam Maalik.”
[al-Fawaakih ad-Dawaani (2/338)]
🍃Abd ar-Rahmaan ibn Mahdi said:
“There is no saheeh report from the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam concerning the TIMING of cupping; however he enjoined doing it.”
[al-Mawdoo‘aat (3/215)]
🍃Al-Bardha‘i said:
“I saw Abu Zar‘ah not confirming any hadeeth about cupping being makrooh on a particular day or being mustahabb on a particular day.”
[Su’aalaat al-Bardha‘i (2/575)]
🍃Al-‘Aqeeli said:
“No report has been proven sound about this matter – i.e., the best day for cupping.”
[Ad-Du‘afa’ al-Kabeer (1/150) ]
🍃Ibn al-Jawzi said about the ahaadeeth regarding the days of cupping:
“None of these ahaadeeth are saheeh.”
[al-Mawdoo‘aat (3/211-215)]
🍃 Imam an-Nawawi said:
“To sum up, nothing is proven about the prohibition on cupping on particular days.”
[al-Majmoo‘ (9/69)]
