Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some people say that cupping is a recommended practice (sunnah) because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) performed it.
Answer:
My brother, cupping is a permissible treatment; it is not a recommended practice. It is a permissible treatment. Yes, what does a permissible treatment mean? It is absolutely not an obligatory treatment; it is permissible. The text of al-Zad states that seeking medical treatment is permissible by consensus, meaning the consensus of the jurists that it is permissible and not obligatory. Yes.
