Hijama holds a special place in Islamic tradition. Learn about its place in the Sunnah and the days many choose for it.
For many Muslims, hijama is more than a wellness treatment, it is part of the Sunnah and a practice with deep tradition. At Health & Style Medical Center, we respect this dimension while delivering the procedure to modern clinical standards, so patients can follow the practice safely.
Its place in the tradition
Cupping is mentioned in the Prophetic tradition and has long been encouraged as a means of caring for the body. For those who observe it, hijama is both a physical and a spiritual practice, undertaken with intention and gratitude.
The days many choose
Within the tradition, certain days of the lunar (Hijri) month are favoured for hijama.
- The 17th, 19th and 21st of the lunar month are commonly mentioned as preferred.
- Some also prefer the earlier part of the day.
- Many avoid days of extreme heat or when feeling unwell.
Tradition with modern safety
Observing the Sunnah and protecting your health go hand in hand. Performing hijama in a licensed centre means sterile, single-use equipment, a trained practitioner, and a short health check to confirm it is suitable for you, so you can honour the practice with peace of mind.
