Sunnah Hijama Days & Ramadan

​

The well-known hadith suggests 17, 19 and 21 of the lunar month.   

Islamic scholars have advised that cupping is not restricted to those dates. 

We offer hijama cupping every day of the month (except Wednesdays before sunset). 

There are differences of opinion about sighting of the new moon. We do not decide who is right nor impose one opinion over others. We simply offer a service to all members of the community whatever view they take about the matter.

​

IS SUNNAH CUPPING RESTRICTED TO JUST "THE SUNNAH DAYS"?

​

The short answer is: no.  Because to do so is to restrict the Sunnah of hijama cupping as explained by Ibn Qayyim who advised cupping at any time of the month in respect of certain issues.

Cupping In Ramadan

​

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (peace be upon him) was cupped while he was fasting - Sahih Bukhari (5694). That is, cupping does not break the fast.

Therefore, it is permissible to be cupped while you are fasting in Ramadan.
