What is cupping (Hijama)?

Cupping (Hijama) is a healing remedy recommended and practiced by the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam). He stated, “Indeed the best of remedies you have is cupping (Hijama)…” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)]. During the night of Israa, he also instructed, “Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah (nation) with cupping (Hijama).” [Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)].

The term ‘Hijama’ comes from the Arabic word ‘hajm’, meaning ‘sucking’. This practice involves placing cups on specific body parts while creating a vacuum by removing air.
