Discussion of the blood drawn from cupping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : The principle here is that, for example, the cupper continues to draw the black blood until red blood appears at the bottom of the cup. The evidence for this is that a human body contains both black blood and red blood. The black blood comes from the vein, and the red blood from the artery. As is known in modern medicine, the black blood first goes to the heart. The heart, of course, is divided into two sections. In the first section, the black blood enters the atrium and the first ventricle, so it is as if it purifies it and sends it to the second section. The second section purifies it completely and sends it to the lungs, and then to the body. So, a person’s blood might be weak. If we apply this principle and suction out all the black blood... we wait for the red to come out. Perhaps for this person, a lot of blood is purified from him. If all the blood is purified from his vein, he dies immediately. As for us, we suction the blood, for example, based on the estimate that the Shaykh’s blood is sixteen, so we try to...
The Shaykh : What is the Shaykh’s blood?
The questioner : Sixteen.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The strength of your blood is sixteen.
The Shaykh : Sixteen.
The questioner : Ah, some people are eighteen, some are fourteen, some are eighteen.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : This is evident to me through suctioning for each person, meaning his blood is like this... and so on. So we try to take, meaning, an estimated appropriate volume of blood suctioned for each person, his blood is like this and his blood is like this and his blood is like this.
The Shaykh : Estimated? What do you mean? You think it is estimated? Do you have a scale?
The questioner : It is...
The Shaykh : An opinion based on conjecture.
The questioner : Ah, that is better than taking all the black blood and then something else happens to him.
The Shaykh : And I do not like to discuss something about which I have no knowledge, but first, I do not believe that these two types of blood are separate in the human body, meaning that black blood comes out from this place and red blood comes out from another place.
The questioner : Yes, by Allah, this is what modern medicine says.
The Shaykh : Allah knows best. Perhaps what you are calling modern medicine is not correctly termed modern medicine, but rather a modern opinion, meaning it is not a scientific matter like many scientific matters.
