[Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)]. This shows the importance and greatness of this Sunnah.

Cupping (Hijama) Is A Prevention

Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, "Cupping (hijama) on an empty stomach* is best. In it is a cure and a blessing. It improves the intellect and the memory. So cup yourselves with the blessing of Allaah on Thursday. Keep away from cupping (hijama) on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday to be safe. Perform cupping (hijama) on Monday and Tuesday for it is the day that Allaah saved Ayoub from a trial. He was inflicted with the trial on Wednesday. You will not find leprosy except (by being cupped) on Wednesday or Wednesday night." [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3487)].

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, "Whoever wants to perform cupping (hijama) then let him search for the 17th, 19th and 21st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) and let none of you allow his blood to rage (boil) such that it kills him."

Keep him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi away from being cupped on a Friday, Saturday and Wasallam) said, "Healing is in three things: in the Sunday. Be cupped on a Monday or Tuesday. Do not incision of the cupper, in drinking honey, and in be cupped on a Wednesday because it is the day that cauterizing with fire, but I forbid my Ummah (nation) Ayoub was befallen with a trial.

[Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3488)]. Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, "Indeed in cupping (hijama) there is a cure." [Saheeh Muslim (5706)].

* 'alaa ar-reeq in arabic means to fast until after being treated with cupping. Once the treatment of cupping has been completed, one may eat and drink. As for the Islamic day and night, the night enters before the day. So at sunset on Tuesday, Wednesday night comes in. Cupping (hijama) is best performed during the daytime between the adhaan of fajr and the adhaan of maghrib because yawm in arabic means daytime.

Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, "Cupping (hijama) on an empty stomach* is best. In it is a cure and a blessing..." [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3487)]. 2




Wasallam) was cupped on (his foot) for bruising."

The Sunnah days for cupping (hijama) every month are when the 17th, 19th or 21st of the Islamic, lunar month coincide with a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. These are the best and most beneficial days for cupping (hijama). If one is not able to be cupped on the 17th, 19th or 21st (coinciding with Monday, Tuesday or Thursday) then any Monday, Tuesday or Thursday of the month. The most beneficial days for cupping (hijama) after the Sunnah days are the closest Monday, Tuesday or Thursday to the 17th, 19th or 21st of the Islamic, lunar month and Allah knows best.

[Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (2807)].

Cupping (Hijama) While fasting Or In The State Of Ihram Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was cupped on his head for a unilateral headache while he was in Ihraam. [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5701)]. Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was cupped while he was fasting. [Saheeh alBukhaaree (5694)].

Cupping (Hijama) May Be Used For: Headaches Salma (may Allaah be pleased with him), the servant of the Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, "Whenever someone would complain of a headache to the Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam), he (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) would advise them to perform cupping (hijama)." [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3858)].

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) was asked: "Did you dislike cupping for the fasting person?" He said, "No except for the reason of one becoming weak." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (1940)]. This is not affected by the hadeeth, "The cupper and the one being cupped have broken their fast." [Saheeh see Irwaa al-Ghaleel (931)]. This is because the hadeeth is abrogated as Sheikh al-Albaani and ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy upon them) showed by the following hadeeth:

Magic Ibn al-Qaiyum (may Allaah have mercy on him) mentions that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was cupped on his head when he was afflicted with magic and that it is from the best of cures for this if performed correctly. [Zaad al Ma'aad (4/125-126)].

Abu Sa'eed al-Khudhree (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, "The Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) validated cupping for the fasting person." [Saheeh see Irwaa al-Ghaleel (4/74)].

Poison

It appears that cupping (hijama) is allowed but disliked as Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) mentioned because the fasting person becomes weak if they perform cupping (hijama) and Allah knows best.

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that a Jewish woman gave poisoned meat to the Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) so he (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) sent her a message saying, "What caused you to do that?" She replied, "If you really are a Prophet then Allaah will inform you of it and if you are not then I would save the people from you!" When the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) felt pain from it, he (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) performed cupping (hijama). Once he travelled while in Ihram and felt that pain and hence performed cupping (hijama). [Ahmed (1/305) the hadeeth is hasan (good chain with all the paths)].

Areas of Cupping (Hijama) Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was treated with cupping (hijama) three times on the two veins at the side of the neck and the base of the neck. [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3860), ibn Maajah (3483)]. Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was cupped on his head. [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5699)].

It improves the intellect Wasallam) used to cup his head and would call it (the place and the memory..." [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3487)]. at the top of the head) "Umm Mugheeth." [Saheehah (753), Saheeh al-Jaami' (4804)]. * 'alaa ar-reeq in arabic means to fast until after being treated with cupping. Once the treatment of cupping Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with has been completed, one may eat and drink. him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was treated with cupping (hijama) on his hip for Dislocation/Bruising a pain in that area. [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3863)]. Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) fell from his horse onto the trunk of a palm tree and dislocated his foot. Waki' (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, "Meaning the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was treated with cupping (hijama) when he was in Ihram, on the top of his foot, for a pain in that area. [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (1836)]. 3




Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, Cupping (Hijama) For Women "Cupping (hijama) under the chin is beneficial for pain in the teeth, face and throat, if it is performed in its proper Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with time.

The Wages Of The Cupping Therapist The Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, "The earnings of a cupper is degraded." [Muslim, kitaab al-masaaqah 41/000 (3988)].

is allowed to do cupping and take a wage for it even if the earning of the cupper is considered degraded, there is no problem if he is given a wage…it is not considered forbidden and this is why the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) gave the one who cupped him his wage. Ibn 'Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, "if it was forbidden then he wouldn't have paid him… it is better for the cupper not to take anything or he should seek a profession other than cupping."

The Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, "The worst of earnings are the wages of a prostitute, the price of a dog and the fee of a cupper." [Muslim, kitaab al-masaaqah 40/1568 (3987) Tirmidhee 1275]. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, "The Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) forbade the earnings of a cupper." [al-Nasaa’i (4673), classed as saheeh by alAlbaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i].

Sheikh ibn 'Uthaimeen rahimahullaah said that the word khabeeth has different meanings, it could mean forbidden as in the Verse:

The Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) Paid A Cupper Who Cupped Him

It could refer to something disliked as in the statement of the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) regarding onions: "It is from a disliked tree," or it could refer to something degraded as in the Verse:

{ ‫[} وﻳﺤﻞ ﻟﻬﻢ اﻟﻄﻴﺒﺎت وﻳﺤﺮم ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ اﻟﺨﺒﺎﺋﺚ‬soorah 'Araaf:157]

The report narrated by al-Bukhaaree (2102) and Muslim (kitaab al-masaaqah 62/1577 no.4014) from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said, "Abu Taybah cupped the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) and he ordered that he be given a saa’ of dates."

{ ‫[}وﻻ ﺗﻴﻤﻤﻮا اﻟﺨﺒﻴﺚ ﻣﻨﻪ‬Soorah al-Baqarah: 267] The fact that the word Khabeeth could have these different meanings then we cannot say that it is forbidden since the Shariah principle says whenever there is more than one meaning then it cannot be used as proof to say that it is forbidden and this is why the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) paid the cupper.

The report narrated by al-Bukhaaree (2103) from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said, "The Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was cupped and he gave something to the one who treated him. If it had been forbidden, he would not have given him anything." This is the wording of al-Bukhaaree. He also narrated another version (2279) which says: "And he gave the cupper his wages; if he knew that it was disliked, he would not have given him anything."

Sheikh Saalih ibn Fawzan was asked regarding the wage of the cupper. He replied that it is allowed but disliked and that it is better for the Muslim to choose a profession to live by which is better that cupping and if he takes a wage then that is allowed since the the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) himself paid the cupper after being cupped. If it was forbidden, he wouldn't have given him. [fatwa no. 13886].

These narrations seem contradictory but Imam Nawawi said, "The scholars have differed over the earnings of the cupper. Most of them from the early and present generations are in the opinion that it is not forbidden… this is what is well known from the madhab of Ahmed…" [Shahr Saheeh Muslim 10/233].

A questioner asker sheikh Zaid al-Madkhali on the earnings of the cupper and he replied: The Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) performed cupping and in return gave the cupper his wage for it but at the same time the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) also said the earning of the cupper is degraded so this means that it is forbidden for him to eat, drink and clothe himself from it

Sheikh Bin Baz in the explanation of Buloogh alMaram tape no. 18 said, "In the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) is a proof to show that it 4

In conclusion, we sincerely recommend that the cupping therapist follows the Sunnah of not charging a set fee for hijama and we sincerely recommend that the patient follows the Sunnah of paying the cupping therapist. Some cupping therapists charge as much as £50 per cup and some patients are reluctant to pay the cupping therapists even for the materials or have paid as little as £2 for a session. Although these incidents are rare, they only harm the Sunnah of hijama as it puts cupping therapists off from either offering hijama or from not charging a set fee. Also charging high prices puts the patient off from being cupped. We sincerely recommend that the patient pays approximately between £20-35 for a cupping session. The patient should bear in mind the following when paying the cupping therapist:

3.

The extra cost and time a cupping therapist incurs when they travel to the patient. The length of time the cupping therapist spends with the patient. The number of cups the cupping therapist performs on the patient.

We would also sincerely advise the patient to make sure that they have sufficient funds before booking the appointment and they pay the cupping therapist immediately after the cupping session. Finally we would also advise the patient to give the cupping therapist plenty of notice when cancelling a booking especially bookings made on the Sunnah days. We pray these recommendations will help revive the Sunnah of the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) and also bring about love and a good feeling in the community for hijama.
