HADITH OF THE DAY
CUPPING (WHILE FASTING)
Narrated by Ibn Abbas
The Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allah upon Him) was cupped while he was in the state of lhram, and also while he was observing a fast.
Note: Cupping (In Arabic Hijama) is the alternative Medical procedure, where blood is drawn by vacuum from a small skin incision for therapeutic purposes. It is reported that the Prophet Muhammed said, "Indeed the best of remedies you have is Hijama, and if there was something excellent to be used as a remedy then it is Hijama."
