The Ruling on Lancing Boils, Cupping, Binding a Wound, and Extracting a Tooth for One in Ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question in the letter from our brother Abdullah Ahmad Fadl al-Sayyid from the Democratic Republic of Sudan states: Is it permissible for a pilgrim in ihram to lance a boil, undergo cupping, and bind and clean a wound? What is the ruling on extracting a molar or tooth and receiving injections? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: There is nothing wrong with any of this. He may undergo cupping, and he may lance a boil or the like to remove its harm. He may bind a wound, and he may extract a tooth. All of these matters are permissible for one in ihram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) underwent cupping while in ihram, so there is no blame in doing so. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
