Sister doing cupping for her brother
Question
Is it appropriate for my husband's elder sister to do cupping for him on his body as she is holding and touching his bare body even though it is not his satr?
There are males who are more convenient to go to in the area we live in but now he is traveling 30 minutes out.
Answer
Due to this time being a time of fitnah and suspicion, it is better that he does cupping by a male.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
