Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on cupping, and is it a condition to continue with it for one who performs it for the first time?
The Shaykh:
Cupping is good if a person needs it, but there is no one who understands it; one must seek the help of doctors to understand it. If the blood is stagnant and the blood is excessive in him, it is beneficial. In the authentic hadith, it is said:Sahih Muslim 1577a So cupping has virtue and is good. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to treat himself with it, but some people do not understand it, they do not know it.
The questioner:
Does donating blood suffice for it? Yes, donating blood.
The Shaykh:
But this is known by private doctors.
The questioner:
It has specific days, may Allah keep you safe, in the month.
The Shaykh:
In some months, but there is a statement in her Sunnahs, and even if it is mentioned in the months of the year, it is a matter of scrutiny. The most cautious course is to present oneself to the specialized doctor who knows about the blood and the need for the cupper, who knows his need for it. Some people are not suited for cupping.
The questioner:
Some doctors diminish its importance.
The Shaykh:
So the intended meaning is a specialist.
