The questioner asks: What are the authentic evidences regarding cupping? And how did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) use it?
The Shaykh:
The authentic evidences are that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and a cauterization with fire, a drink of honey, a cauterization for healing, if it is Sunan Ibn Majah 3491Sahih (Darussalam) or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Also, among the evidences for cupping is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used it; he was treated with it, may peace and blessings be upon him.
