Going to one's brother for cupping

· 27 Safar 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My wife needs to do hijama (cupping) and her brother is doing hijama treatment. Can she do hijama by her brother? Is this allowed in Islam?

Answer

Yes, but it is better if a woman can administer this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
