Q & A

What is the significance of cupping therapy in Islam?

Cupping therapy, or *bekam*, is considered a Sunnah (tradition) of the Prophet Muhammad, and it is believed to offer numerous health benefits when performed correctly. It is a practice passed down through generations and recognized both within Islamic traditions and modern medical circles.

Why is it important to understand the science of cupping before practicing it?

Understanding the science of cupping is essential because improper application can lead to harm, not only to the patient but also to the therapist. Cupping is closely linked to medical knowledge, and performing it incorrectly can cause adverse effects.

Which areas of the body are prohibited for cupping?

Areas that should be avoided for cupping include the lymph nodes (e.g., under the ears), armpits, groin, brain area, throat/neck, natural body openings (e.g., nose, ears, belly button), knee joints (back and kneecap), the eye area, and areas affected by tumors, cancer, or gout.

Why should cupping not be performed near the lymph nodes?

Cupping should be avoided near the lymph nodes because these areas are critical for immune system function, and applying suction could potentially disrupt their natural processes.

What is the risk of cupping near the brain or skull?

Cupping near the brain or skull is risky because it could interfere with the brain's cerebrospinal fluid (referred to as 'glue') which is vital for transmitting commands to the body's organs. Disrupting this fluid could lead to serious health issues, including paralysis.

Why is cupping not recommended for pregnant women?

Pregnant women should avoid cupping on the abdomen and lower back because it could potentially trigger contractions or even lead to premature labor, especially if the pregnancy is not near full term.

Can cupping be done in areas affected by cancer or tumors?

Cupping should not be performed directly over tumors or cancerous areas as it could worsen the condition. However, cupping around the affected area may help improve blood circulation and support overall healing, but it should never be applied directly to the tumor.

What is the recommended approach for cupping in the presence of gout?

For gout, cupping should not be done directly on the affected joints. However, cupping around the area of the gout can help relieve symptoms by promoting better blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Why should cupping not be done on natural body openings like the nose or belly button?

Natural body openings, such as the nose, ears, and belly button, are designed by nature to facilitate bodily functions like breathing and excretion. Cupping in these areas could interfere with these vital processes.

Is it safe to perform cupping on the knee joints?

Cupping should not be done on the knee joints, especially on the kneecap or the back of the knee. These areas are too sensitive, and cupping could lead to injury or discomfort. However, cupping slightly above or below the knee is considered safe.
