What is your opinion on cupping for women, and is it permissible for a man to cup a non-mahram woman?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on cupping for a woman, and what is the ruling if a man cups a woman because there is no woman available to perform the cupping?
The Shaykh : Yes, cupping is permissible when there is a need for it, for both men and women. If it happens that a woman needs cupping and no woman is available, there is no harm in a man doing it, but on the condition that he does not be alone with her and that a mahram is present with her, just as with other treatments. If a woman has no one to treat her except a man, there is no harm in the man treating her, but on the condition that he does not be alone with her and that a mahram is present with her.
