Going to one's brother for cupping
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.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
