Is it true that cupping causes forgetfulness?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
May peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
As for what follows, I am a person who wants cupping...
The Shaykh : What do you want?
The questioner : Cupping.
The Shaykh : Cupping?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : But I heard that cupping causes forgetfulness, so what is your opinion, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you, cupping is one of the Prophetic medicines. If a person has a lot of bad blood, he must undergo cupping. In that case, the matter is presented to a specialized doctor, and if the doctor says that cupping is necessary, then it is necessary. Then know that if a person undergoes cupping for the first time, his body becomes accustomed to it, and it becomes necessary for him to be cupped every year, otherwise the blood will overwhelm him. And if he has never been cupped at all, he generally does not need it. Yes. As for it causing forgetfulness, how can the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) indicate that it is among the beneficial medicines and then it causes forgetfulness? This is not correct. One of the greatest causes of forgetfulness is disobedience to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:13].
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
The Shaykh : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
The questioner : Your Eminence, Shaykh Muhammad, I bear witness to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) of my love for you all.
The Shaykh : May Allah love you for the sake of whom you loved us. May Allah love you for the sake of whom you loved us.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
