Frequently Asked Questions

If we take all the various ahadeeth that mention the days and times to get cupping performed, then we can summarise as follows:

The recommended times to get hijaamah could be:

On a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday
On the 17th, 19th, and 21st of the hijri calendar
On odd numbered days of the month
In the second half and beginning of the third quarter of the lunar month
Between Fajr (dawn) and Maghrib (sunset)
During the summer months.

There are some days which the people avoid, especially Wednesday which is linked to leprosy and the affliction of Prophet Ayub (peace be upon him). However the reports are not necesarily sound and we advise you to look into the issue yourselves and come to a conclusion:

https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:3487

In summary, we recommend that if you have a need for hijaamah then do it on a day that is convenient and timely and don’t delay too much. If you decide to do it on a recommended day/time in order to have peace of mind, then that is also your choice especially if you are having hijaamah performed for general health benefits and detox.

 

If done correctly, hijaamah should never hurt. The act of placing a vacuum on the skin with cups for first timers can be slightly uncomfortable, but clients soon get used to this feeling after a few minutes. In fact many people feel a sense of relief during the session. Think of it as a massage, but with a sucking action rather than a pushing action. The small incisions made to allow blood flow should feel like small scratches at the most, and is over within seconds. Clients overwhelmingly express how the procedure is not as daunting as they expected, and how they wish they had booked a cupping session a lot earlier.

Home visits are possible. Please do not book through the site in that case. Prices vary according to the services required and the distance needing to be travelled. In the first instance, fill in and submit the registration form. Then send a text or whatsapp message to 07942 262 793 indicating that you have submitted a form and that you would like to request a home visit. We will then reply with the appropriate costs and availability.

Ruqyah includes du’a (supplicating to Allah) and the recitation of the noble Quran (the perfect words of Allah). The ruqyah practitioner (raaqi) and the client are both in a state of helplessness, and seek the help and cure of Allah through His perfect words. Anyone who is able to recite themselves is recommended to do so. In some rare instances, where it is made difficult to recite or there is a lack of knowledge of what to do, then support and guidance can be sought from one more knowledgeable of the field. In addition to the recitation of the Quran, some sessions include being sprayed on with water, drinking ruqyah water, dry spittle (being blown on),  and/or applying ruqyah oil to the skin.
