Sunnah of Hijama: Spiritual & Medical Benefits Explained

What is Hijama (Cupping Therapy)?

Hijama, also called cupping therapy, is an ancient healing method where suction cups are applied to the skin to draw out toxins and stimulate blood flow. While it has been practiced in various cultures for centuries, Hijama holds a special place in Islam because it is a recommended Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The Sunnah of Hijama in Islam

The Prophet ﷺ encouraged Hijama for both health and spiritual well-being. According to Hadith:

“Indeed the best of remedies you have is cupping (Hijama).” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • The Prophet ﷺ himself underwent Hijama multiple times.
  • It is considered a Sunnah treatment because of its recommendation in Hadith.
  • Many Muslims practice Hijama not only for health but also as an act of faith and adherence to Sunnah.

📌 Special Sunnah Days for Hijama:
 It is recommended to perform Hijama on the 17th, 19th, and 21st days of the Islamic lunar month.

Spiritual Benefits of Hijama

Performing Hijama as Sunnah brings both physical healing and spiritual rewards:

  • Following the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ – a source of barakah and blessings.
  • Cleansing the body and soul – removing impure blood is symbolic of purification.
  • Spiritual upliftment – many Muslims feel more energized and spiritually connected after Hijama.
  • Reward in Akhirah – since it is a recommended Sunnah, it earns reward when done with the right intention.
