Is cupping sunnah?
Question
Is cupping considered as a sunnat or is it only when one has a health problem to treat when it would be considered as a sunnat?
Answer
It is a treatment that Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) had taken. To take it as a sunnat treatment is good and recommended.
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.
