Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu
salam ala so you will mousseline while he was so happy or Baraka
was a limiter Sleeman. girthier on Ilario Mateen Amma beret were on
chapter 50 of the Kitab. Chapter 50 of the GitHub is about hijama
it's about cupping.
This is a very important significant chapter because
mashallah, in the recent years, cupping has become much more
popular than it ever used to be. You never heard about cupping
about 10 years ago in this country. But for the last five,
seven years, mashallah, it's increasing, there's lots of people
who know how to do it. Of course, this cupping, etcetera, it's found
in other countries, it's been found that it's been a tradition.
But now mashallah, you can find it in many countries in the West as
well.
So, this is about
cupping, and what the benefits are cupping, essentially, we see it as
a form of cure.
Where blood has to be drained out.
And there's a benefit in blood, the blood being drained out
some blood.
So obviously, we're not speaking about total refresh of the entire
blood like you have in one of those machines. Would you call
that machine? Yeah, you have to sit for several hours, and it
takes the blood out and dialysis, blood dialysis. So this is
obviously nothing like that.
Now the question is,
why is this chapter and the Hadith that relate to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam having cupping done? Why is that
mentioned in this book? Well, obviously, it's to do with the
soul of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. But I think the bigger
issue here is that cupping is a form of cure. It's a cure. And the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam we've been hearing learning
and understanding that he was on the highest levels of Tawakkol on
reliance in Allah subhanaw taala. So why does he need to have
cupping done? Why not just rely on Allah subhanaw taala to if Allah
subhanaw taala is performing so many miracles for him? And why
does he need to go and get cupping done? So that question that arises
there
is that
one of the highest characteristics of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was Tawakkol was reliance. And that means the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa salam would be expected to give his whole body
up to Allah subhanho wa taala. And allow him to leave it the way it
was the way he wanted it without going and trying to do something
by adopting this cure, and the price and someone might understand
that there's no need for him to apply any cure or medicine or
anything of that nature. So that is then being rejected. That idea
is being rejected. And it's shown that because the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam did cupping, and did use medicine like that, it
shows that if he with the highest level of Tawakkol, has cupping,
done than any other material, Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi
wasallam, a person of the Ummah, there's absolutely nothing wrong
with them going and having a cure, or trying to apply a cure of
something, taking medicine to try to cure themselves, as long as the
reliance is still on Allah subhanaw taala, that Allah
subhanaw taala is the one who puts the efficacy, the benefit in that
cure that the person is adopting.
And it's got nothing against the worker. Because at the end of the
day, whether you do something or you don't do something, it's up to
Allah subhanho wa Taala that even if you do something, it's Allah
subhanaw taala that will help you out in the way and just like with
everything else we eat to sustain ourself. So again, it's something
similar. You could you could use the same argument, say just do
Tawakkol and Allah subhanaw taala and don't eat him he wants to keep
me alive, he can nourish me miraculously Otherwise,
otherwise I'll die. So it's the same kind of a thing. Yes, some
orlimar have mentioned that sometimes to leave it to Allah
subhanho wa Taala in some cases is the for Lila is the better thing
to do. But there's nothing wrong with doing the cure. But leaving
it and leaving it to Allah subhanho wa Taala in some cases,
is superior is a for Lila, and it's an extra virtue. But the fact
is that it still doesn't go against the fact that Rasul Allah,
Allah, Allah, some did it because he did it for a reason.
Now, we're going to I'm going to mention some aspects about cure
and Tawakkol. And so on this week, and next week, I'll mention a few
more things. And we'll cover some of the Hadith today as well. First
and foremost, the first point that I want to make here is that
applying medicine using medicine is not against the workflow
because it is not a condition of having Tawakkol that you don't use
He means there is no condition that if you the only way you can
have to work well is that you actually leave yourself totally
out in the cold and think that Allah subhanaw taala is going to
do everything for you that don't put clothes on, don't cover
yourself, don't protect yourself don't eat. It's not that that is
not a condition. So now orlimar have different explanations of how
these two things come together. One of the scholars said
that the person is only a person is only entitled to this
characteristic of having Tawakkol if
no fear ever appears in their heart from anything, even from a
wild animal, that if a person never has this fear in their
heart, so the person who has the right to be called the mutawa
kill, is the person whose heart never takes on the fear of
anything, even something harmful, the person who never goes and
attempts to attain his nourishment and daily sustenance or tries to
apply a cure to some problem that they have. That's what somebody
said. That's what some people think. Whereas the earlier
mentioned, the Huck is that
whoever has trust in Allah subhanaw taala. And he fully
believes in his heart, that whatever Allah subhanaw taala has
decreed and knows, is going to happen to this person. And Allah
subhanaw taala knew this from pre eternity. That is exactly what's
going to happen. Then, for him to apply means and adopt means and do
things in this world. In following the Sunnah of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam, because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam also
adopted means and so on, then there is absolutely nothing wrong
with that. And that is what you call Tawakkol. Because if you look
at Rasulullah sallallahu son's life, during one of the battles,
we read about this before, the Prophet SAW was on put on two
pieces of armor, not just one, but two pieces of armor. What battle
was that in the Battle of art? He put on two pieces of armor. It was
very heavy, but he put on two pieces of armor. Doesn't that
sound like it's against our call, according to those who say that
you shouldn't do anything at all? Right?
He wore a helmet lobby selling Milford he wore a helmet. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had those group of 50
arches standing on that hill, in watch when they moved away, the
Muslims suffered, but that was not against the Wakil for him to have
set them there. In fact, when they moved away, there was a setback.
Again in the Battle of art,
he built the he dug the trench around Madina Munawwara he ordered
or permitted people to migrate and runaway escape from Makkah Corolla
go to another place for safety, he himself migrated. This is all
taking means, isn't it? This is all a source of protection, all of
the things that he's doing here it's all a defense source of
protection, doing something beyond the norm. Then the progress the
lesson was most one one of his most famous statements about
debacle. He said about somebody's camel. He said kill her watercolor
tide first and then have the workin don't just come on your
camel, get off it and walk away thinking might Tawakkol is that
Allah will look after my camel. Yeah, he will look after your
camel, but you might be several miles away by the time you get
back. So he says, tight then have to work cool. You've done your
part. You've done your part by tying it in what our code this is
very famous statement. So to do all of these things doesn't go
against our code because Protestantism himself did it,
audit it to be done and Allah subhanaw taala knows best.
However, there is a Hadith that kind of puts this into question.
through it. Some people have become confused. There's a hadith
in which the Prophet sallallahu sallam said Minister Kawakawa
berry Amina Tawakkol, the person who gets Rukia done, and the
person who gets this other form of cure done that's done through
branding, then he is he doesn't have any aspect of our kuleana so
there's a hadith that seems to indicate this, that if you go and
get rakia done, Tao is you know Rukia get somebody to prey on you
read Surah Fatiha Bacara or something like that thou ease or
something, then the person doesn't have any Tawakkol however, there's
an this is those people who believe that there is interest,
there is intrinsic benefit in the Rukia itself. And it doesn't come
from Allah subhanaw taala but this is independent benefit. That's
when it becomes problematic. The other thing is that we said before
that although it is completely fine to go and use means and to
use medicine, however many of them
anima have written that in many cases for people to abstain from
medicine with the word colon, Allah subhanaw taala, specifically
for medicine, specifically for medicine. He said that it's a
formula, it's a virtue to do that, right? So after saying that,
there's absolutely it doesn't go against the word cool. To use
medicine, and to use means in everything else, if somebody did
abstain from medicine, not from food, because if you abstain from
food and you died, you'd be sinful. But if you abstain from
medicine and you died, you would not be sinful, because that was
allowed by the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and considered for Lila,
and he himself refused to take medicine sometime at the end. In
fact, when something was put into his mouth, he got very angry. And
he said that everybody who was part of this in making giving me
this playing this medicine in my mouth, then they should all be
given it, right. And there are many Sahaba who refuse to get an
operation done in the eyes or something else, because it will
prevent them from doing such the underground aroma, or the Allah
and many others, they abstained. So it's completely fine to have to
abstain from medicine, and it doesn't go against our cool. The
question then is why did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
then use medicine? Sometimes he didn't. But then in some, in some
cases, he had the cupping done, why did he try to apply a cure to
himself? So the the, the reason that's being provided there is
that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam because he was always trying
to do things for his ummah, he did this to show that I'm also doing
it, right. I'm also doing this. So he did it sometimes to show the
permissibility for the OMA to do it, to legislate it for the OMA to
allow it for the OMA so they will say and look, even the prophets,
Allah some did it, we should do it because not everybody's Tawakkol
is high as that of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So
just to make it because he was a prophet for the people. So this
was his softness, his compassion for the people and for his OMA
that he did this coming down from his status of his high lofty
status, to the status of the alpha to the status of the weak people
of the Ummah, to show that I'm, I'm doing it you can do it as
well. And subhanAllah it means that then the people who want
higher level of Dawa could who would abstain they also performing
a sunnah. And those who are on the lower level, who like to most
people who want to go to the doctors and get medicine and so
on, as long as they trusted is in Allah subhanaw taala they also
following a sunnah. So that's the promise the lesson was
comprehensive nature that he's allowing himself to be the role
model for the both the the higher level people and the lower level
people. Now, there's some other discussion but before we do all of
that discussion, I'm just going to go through some of the Hadith that
he has mentioned in here
Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem Bergen magia, V hijama, three Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
While bill is now the Mutasa elimina Imam he tells me the new

will Allah is Allah Allahu Allah He was telling me that Gemma what
were more honeymoon be Maillol be Merlin Allah Varela.
So those are about five
Six Hadith the
right the first Hadith that we have here is Hadith number 367.
This one is related by Annissa the Allahu Anhu mashallah again and so
the Allahu Allah because he was always Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam so he got to see all of these things. And so the Allahu
Anhu relates that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had
cupping done.
So somebody did cupping on him. Cupping is they essentially get a
piece of glass or something. And they create a vacuum Minute, I'm
sure many of you have seen it, the traditional way was to burn
something and then extinguish it so that it sucks up all the
oxygen. So it creates a vacuum, it pulls the skin and loosens it. And
then after that, they make some holes in there and the blood comes
out. Nowadays, they have other ways of creating that vacuum as
well. Through what do they use? Pump? Yeah, they've got a pump
nowadays. So that's cupping, that's different from finding a
big vein, and doing fast. So this is hijama Headjam, hijama. That's
cupping, to to kind of loosen the skin, kind of make it soft, and so
on, and then to make slits in it and, and some of you have probably
had it done to people who have had it done, right. The other one is
first is to find a vein or a vein and to slit it to let some blood
come out. That's faster, that's probably more blood comes out
there.
So yes, he said that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam had it done. He
explained who did it, he said abou cleaver did it. And I will favor
whose name was nothing. But his title was a bowtie but here is
eigenmann it's related from Imam Ignace, second top Iranian, many
others that from what why are you citing numerous route that he had
a woolum He had a he had a young boy who was a hijab. Headjam in
Arabic means somebody who does cupping. Whereas in Urdu hijab is
somebody who cuts the hair, Ababa. But Headjam is actually hijama
hijama it means the one who does the copy. So anyway, he went to
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he did the copying.
There's some difference about his name and so on. We're not going to
we're not going to go into that. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam then commanded that he be paid for Amara Allahu Bissau, i
In the mean time in that he be given two measures of food, some
food stuff, in this, in this part of the Hadith, it seems very
general what kind of food stuff is not mentioned. But in likewise in
Buhari just mentioned, gave him two measures of food. In another
one, he mentioned that he gave him two measures of the dates, because
that was the most staple thing around there. So he gave him two
full measures of dates for that one. So that means that those
people who are cupping and they're charging is completely permissible
because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam also paid somebody to do
cupping. So it's completely fine to do that, for what they are and
who now it then says for what they are, and whom in Harar G, and then
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam lowered for him his daily
payments. Now what is that all about? So one is he gave him two
measures of dates, or some kind of foodstuff. And then he also
lowered his daily payment. What this was, is that he was
apparently a slave of someone.
Now slaves, one is a slave, a normal slave who works for the
master, he doesn't earn his own living. If he's doing business for
the Master, the Master gets everything. Then there's a slave
who's called Al Abdullah zone, alarm zone is that slave who has
been given some form of autonomy, that, okay, you can go and do
business, but you have to give me this much every day. You know,
like, you're working for someone, taxi business, something like
that, okay, we'll give you the calls or whatever. But you have to
give us this much every day. In this case, it's more like, Okay,
I'll give you some kind of autonomy, some kind of
independence. But this is what you have to bring me this much at the
end of each day, and then rest you keep. So he was supposed to be
paying three, three measures. So the process a lot of stuff, got
him talk to his master and had it lowered to two to everyday. So you
helped him out like that. So he lowered his essentially his daily
commission that he had to pay, then you have the micarta, which
is the third type of slave who's given full independence for a
certain amount of time to go into work, to make up his value. And if
he gets that much money, he can buy his freedom essentially. So
this this one we're talking about is not like that. This one is just
given like allowed to work and to pay the master. So that's, that's
what this one was. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
said honestly the Ilona says that the process and got it done, I
will tell you but did it for him. And he gave him two measures saw
two measures these like these large cups
have dates or food. And then the prophets Allah has also helped him
to lower his daily commissioned that he had to pay his master. And
then the Prophet sallallahu sallam said in off dolla Murtada way to
be a hijama Oh, in the mean, I'm 30 Dawa ecoman hijama
that the most virtuous of anything that you can use as a cure mean
the most virtuous cure that you could use is hijama is cupping.
Why in the mean, unfairly, Dawa eco el hijama M, means the most
appropriate, the most suited. So the most suited cure that you
could use is hijama is cupping. So that's what he said. And that is
how this hadith ends. Now let's let's discuss this statement
because when the Prophet sallallaahu Salam is making this
statement that the most appropriate kinds of cure that you
could use this hijama cupping, you'll see this people using this
to promote the hijama business now, right? The most virtuous
thing that you could gain cure by Okay, don't don't take your you
know, diabetes medicine, don't take this medicine come and do
this. You can just see how this could be manipulated. So what
exactly does this mean? And what does he mean by the favela? So
obviously, the the Ravi is unsure of exactly what the Prophet
salallahu Salam said, Did he say the most virtuous or did he say
the more suited but either way, it's showing goodness it's showing
virtue for it, it showing some kind of preference and benefit in
it. In fact, in Buhari mentioned Umfeld, most suited in NUS in Imam
NASA is collection from Anasazi, Allah it says hydro hydro method
are the best thing by which you could, the best cure that you
could use is hijama.
Now,
the commentator he explains one general principle.
He says that with anything except matters of the
medicine and cure anything else if the promise or some said is
permissible, it means it's universally Everything is
permissible generally. Unless, somewhere you get a delille and
approve that it's very it's it's not to be applied universally.
It's only to be applied specifically. For example, the
Bronx, Allah, some said you must pray.
That means everybody must pray, unless another Hadith says only
for adults, only for Muslims, which we have. Right? So it starts
off being universal, and you need the proof proof to restrict it.
Right. So it will apply everywhere. But what the rhythm I
mentioned, is that when it comes to medicine, and when it comes to
cures, if the Hadith says use this, are the roles of awesome use
this, then it's not to be applied generally. But it's to be applied
specifically to that context only unless you've got a delille and
approved to apply universally. And everywhere. Do you understand the
difference? So here when this is happening, this has to be specific
to this situation? And we're going to study what the situation and
context is, in which the bra is the loss of is saying, hey, Jama
is the most suited does it mean it's going to be most suited thing
in North Pole? As well as in Saudi Arabia, as well as in India and in
America and England? Or, and for both old and young people? For
somebody who's extremely sick, and ill? Right, somebody who's got
very thin blood, somebody who's got thick blood. Somebody who's
got this problem that does this mean? It's just hilarious, you
know? Okay, honey, fie shifa. oldness as Allah says in the
Quran, does that mean you can drink all cup of it every day?
Right? What exactly does that mean? So you know, some people is
the Sunnah brother, this is mentioned in the Quran, whatever.
So now just eat loads of it. It doesn't mean you have to abuse it.
So that's why you have to put this in context is the product just
because the products are mentioned one thing, it doesn't mean that
you can apply it everywhere, especially when it comes to
medicines and that it's has to be very specific unless you've got an
evidence to make it general and universal. So here, when the
Prophet sallallahu sallam said that the best thing that you can
do the most suited and the most vanilla
type of Cure is the one is the hijama. This particular is to the
youth in Makkah and Medina. That's what the aroma mentioned, in this
case, not all the aroma, but this is what the commenter is
mentioning here. That this refers to the young man, right? The young
person in MK como Kurama, probably in hijas. In general, because it's
hot there. Right? The blood is hot, right, the blood is hot. And
the and it's thin. So the blood is thin, and it has, it has a hot you
know, it's it's hot. And generally, it's because of the
heat of the day. It's generally pulled towards the surface of the
body.
So when you, they will bleed more easily, as opposed to people in
colder climates where the blood goes more towards the inside, as
opposed to the outside. So what he's saying here is that the
nature and the circumstance, the weather of the area, pulls the
blood out towards the outer part of the body, so it's better that
some of it is released. And that's why the professor is saying for
that area is the best thing that you can do. Right, otherwise,
traditionally looking at it, you know,
if we take this a bit further, one of the reasons why Asians are
having certain involved in certain diseases in the West, much more
than locals it's possible it's because we are eating foods that
are for hot climates in a cold climate, right because we haven't
taken on
the normal foods of the local area as much I mean, we're still into
our big heavy masala has lots of garlic and lots of ginger and, you
know, Garam, masala, etc, you know, and all of these kinds of
things. So, at the end of the day, Allah subhanaw, taala, created,
you know, we're importing all of this stuff, you know, you don't
mangoes don't grow in this country. We're importing this
stuff. So the question is the same thing kind of thing here. Why
wasn't this is just such a natural kind of.
It doesn't use any sophisticated equipments to do cupping. It's a
very simple kind of thing. But why isn't it generally found in colder
climates, whereas it's found in hotter climates, right, because
generally, that's how people were. And they noticed these kinds of
things, that is the kind of development that took place in
those areas, which is not to say that you can't do it in any other
area. But this is why it's more widespread in certain areas, and
others, that's why certain foods, Allah subhanaw taala, of course,
to grow in a certain area, which is beneficial for the area may not
be as beneficial in other areas. So yeah, what they're saying is
that in that area, generally, the blood is thin, it's hot as well,
it gets to the surface of the skin much more quickly. And it's just
appropriate for that massage, and for that the nature of the people
there to get that kind of thing done. Whereas it's the opposite in
other areas. That's why cupping actually is easier in those areas.
And you don't need to slit a vein or something like that, because
the blood is more easily drawn. And not somebody told me they had
cupping and no blood came out. Somebody who told me that, right?
They did cupping, and normally the blood wouldn't come out, it's
probably a cold person in it. Right? But that's just natural,
it's just the way the way it is. So to draw blood, you need to cut
a vein in colder areas, whereas you know, the cupping isn't as if
as
efficient in those areas. That's why the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam is not necessarily speaking to them. So now you can see how
this applies, however, because of brucellosis got it done. I mean,
if you want to get it done and Hamdulillah, you know, we can
still call it a sunnah. But whether you should get it done all
the time, or whether it's really beneficial for you or not, as
everybody claims, that is not necessarily the case. Just because
of course, I'm sorry, it doesn't mean that it has to apply
everywhere. The other thing that Allah mentioned here is that this
was this wasn't an encouragement for the older people to get it
done either. This was for the younger people to get it done.
Why? Because their blood is hotter. Older people are generally
cooler people that come with people. I mean, you do get some
older people as well. Right. But generally speaking, that's what it
is. In fact, that's why I'm doing it now for the Allahu Anhu.
There's a statement from him, he says that either been original or
buried in the gym. When a person reaches the age of 40, he should
not do cupping anymore. He should not have cupping done anymore
after the age of 40. So that tells us that it's not like just general
sunnah all the time. Because when the person is getting older and
older, by taking drawing too much blood is going to make them weaker
and weaker, it's going to add to their weakness. However, if you
know that there's somebody who needs blood drawn because of a
certain reason. And doctors can say, you know, physicians can say
that it's better beneficial for him to draw the blood, then of
course, then you do that. So it's not like an absolute prohibition
either. In fact, there's no prohibition in that sense.
Right. The other thing we learned from this hadith clearly is that
it's permissible to earn a living by this, right, it's permissible
to earn a living by this, whether that is a free person or a slave
because this was a slave was doing this. So now Imam Ahmed is no
humble. He's the only one out of the four Imams who says that it's
not a good thing. Generally, he's kind of disliked for free people
to do this. Like nowadays, people generally free people, because
this is something that slaves should do. But I guess he's
talking about a time when you had slaves to do these things.
Nowadays, there aren't any slaves. So if it needs to be done, then
somebody's going to have to do it. It's certainly going to be a free
person. But all the other Imams that Jim Who are they all their
opinion is absolutely
permissible, totally generally, too for anybody to do it. And the
reason why Imam Ahmed no humble has this alternate opinion that
only you know, slaves should be doing this and not free people
shouldn't be doing this is because
this Maha yessuh he will he asked the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam about the earning from cupping. And the professor was
prohibited him. And then he said, Well, I've got a need, you know, I
mean needs so that's why can I use this to earn money? And he said,
is the promise of awesome said to him, no, it's better for you to go
and
graze your camels or you know, earn money in a different way.
It's better for you to do that. So that's why I'm it kind of shows
that it's a bit disliked. However, the majority are nama. They
mentioned that there's nothing wrong with it at all. It's
completely permissible. And this prohibition is McCrudden Z hidden
only. But I guess if there's nobody else to do it, then you
won't even be McCrudden Z. And the only reason they said Scruton z is
because generally you're dealing with somebody's blood, so it's not
something very honorable to do generally, do you understand it?
Because you're dealing with blood and things like that, but that's
the same as working in a hospital drawing people's blood. And you
know, in a pathologist lab, you're dealing with blood, same kind of
thing now, but you see what the issue is nowadays, people who do
hijama and I know that they're not going to be very happy with you
know, if they hear me saying this, but at the end of the day, they
make it seem like it's the Sunnah the cure for all ailments. Right?
And it should be done by everybody and anybody. Right, some, some,
some people, not all of them are like that. Some some make it seem
like you know, you just have to do it, it's a big thing. But this
gives us some understanding of why it's not in certain areas than it
is in certain areas and so on. Right the next Hadith, in fact,
some irlam I believe, that used to be haram before the loss of
actually then prohibited you get some indication of the in some
narrations, and then after that, that was abrogated and it was made
completely Halal to do as well. Anyway, the next hadith is related
from
Ali Radi Allahu anhu, and then a BSL Allahu Allah Dudjom ProSolo.
Some had himself had cupping done while emalahleni An oral till
hijama Agera, who he doesn't mention who did it in this one,
but he in this one is just trying to prove that the idea of the Alon
says and he commanded me to pay him his do pay him the church. So
this is even more clear than the previous generation, about giving
a payment for it. The next hadith is from Abner Bertha, the Allahu
Anhu
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he had cupping done and
in this one, he tells you where he had it done. So the reason why
some had kept cutting them in is that I mean, these are the two
arteries.
These are the two you can say the two branches of the I think it's
called the occipital artery,
which is on the side of the neck. Right. So these are the two
branches of the occipital artery or it's called the carotid vein.
So, these are done on this is on the on the neck on the side of the
neck. So he had it done. There were banal Katie Fane and he also
had it done be in between his shoulder blades. So these are the
two places where do they do it nowadays on the shoulder blade?
Generally they do on the neck as well. Okay, that's probably a bit
more
dangerous. Generally on the black on the back. Yeah, and some
sometimes they do it under head as well. insulated from a blue merger
from it really Allahu Anhu another narration it says that there's
illegibly law in the bucilla law who is going to be hijama in the
rain worker hill that Gibreel Ali salaam he came with her comforter
prophesied allows him to have it done on this character or this
occipital artery that are on the neck, the artery of the neck or
and Welker Hill, and that refers to, between the shoulder blades,
the aroma, the actually the physicians, the cupping
physicians, they say that to have it done on the neck, it benefits
these from diseases of the heart disease of the head, the face, the
ears, the eyes, and the teeth and the nose. So everything to do with
the face is beneficial for that because it draws the the dirty
blood away from there. And if you do it behind your shoulder blades
in between the shoulder blades, that benefits from any pains on
the shoulder, and from the throat pains, and so on. In fact, Imam
Abu downloads version it mentions that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam when he ate from that poisoned meat that poisoned goat
meat that yeah who the woman fed him in that Haber. After that he
had he had it done. He had cupping done that his back on it.
mean shoulder blades, so that it would pull away the blood with the
poison away from the heart. Because the back between the
shoulder blades is behind the heart, so to pull it away from
there, but obviously all of it did not go and that's why eventually
it did affect the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam that's
the way Allah subhanaw taala wanted it and then added to the
Allahu Anhu mentions in this hadith of 10 maybe tal hijama
Agera who well Oka Anna haram and Lim Yachty he, so it really Allah
Henry's saying now he gave, he paid the charges to this Headjam
to this copper.
And I lead with the Allah one who must have faced some questions
about whether it was halal or not to do this, to to take a payment
for it. And that's why he said very clearly in here. Obviously
defusing this kind of question. He's saying that if it was haram
to give the money, then he would not have given the money which
means it's permissible. The next hadith is related from ignore
Amara, the Allah one. So we've had Anas Ali, ignore bus or the Allahu
Anhu and now I'm delighted Muhammad Ali Allahu Anhu. He says
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had German, he called
for the hijab. That was a good day, but he was the famous one. He
called for him for hijama, who he kept. He did the cupping was the
Hukum Hologic and then he asked him how what's your charge? How
much you're going to charge me? For Carla to answer. He said three
salt, three measures of
a food. So he's asking him, come Harajuku not your charge. But
what's your commission to your master? Because he knew he was a
slave. So he didn't ask him how much I have to pay you basically
like how much do you need to pay your master every day? So he said
three saw three measures that we discussed earlier, for what are
and who saw and what are the who.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam got his commission
lowered. And then he paid him his charge as well. And the next
hadith is from an asymptomatic or the Allahu Anhu. Is this kind of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? Yeah, the GMO fill. The
irony. Welcome. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam used to
have his cupping done on his the veins of his neck and behind the
shoulder blades. What kind of Yeah, did you more or less
Sudbury, Addis Ababa Ashoka, what is our Shatta Wale, we're actually
used to generally have it done
on the 17th of the month, the 19th of the month, were the 21st of the
month. So let's just after the full moon on odd nights 1719 or
21/21. In fact, there's a hadith of Buddhahood from above whatever
the Allahu Anhu
that a sort of La sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, whoever
does cupping on the 17th 19th and 21st, then Karna Schieffer Omen
colada, and it will be a cure from all diseases. Why, at that time,
the blood is causing much faster and I think it has something to do
with the moon. Because we know now that the moon is what the pull of
the moon is what creates the waves is a certain gravitational pull in
regards to that, the tide, right? So obviously, the blood within the
body has this effect on that day as well on throughout the month.
That time, generally, they say that the in the beginning of the
month and the end of the month, the blood is more karma through
the body. But during the third quarter, right, the third quarter,
which means from
those dates that are mentioned, the blood is causing much faster,
so it's easier done at that time. In fact, there's also a
prohibition that you shouldn't do it on Wednesdays and Friday and
Saturday. And there's some difference about Tuesday, but
Wednesday,
Friday and Saturday, there's a discouragement in some durations.
And there's some difference of opinion about Tuesday. In a hadith
he mentions the GMO Yeoman if Nene were thorough. Have cupping done
on Monday or Tuesday. For in who Aleo malady if Allahu fi Yuba
Minal Bella, because it's the day when your body Salam was cured
from his disease and calamities. In fact, the difference of opinion
about Tuesday's because of this hadith, this hadith about a yoga,
the idea his salah, where it's encouraged, because he was cured
on that basis. But then there's another Hadith which says that in
Neoma, Thriller Yoma dumb, Tuesday's is the day of the blood.
What it means is, there is a time a moment on that day layer coffee
hit them, if you get cut that it will be very difficult to stop
that blood flow. How do you there's two Hadith that seem to
contradict each other here. So some have said that what it means
is that if that when is the
He is on those days, when it's the 17th of the month. If the Tuesdays
are here, if that Tuesday is
on the 17th of the month, then he means that you should do it
because 17th is a good time to do it. And the second reason why you
shouldn't do it is if it's in any other type of days, so you should
avoid it in those days. There's another Hadith from Macedonia,
Saudi Allahu anhu, which is related by man by hotkey, and so
on. He says that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
that hijama on Tuesday, on the 17th of the month is a Dawa, for
the entire years, diseases, anti yours diseases, and he's talking
about Tuesday the 17th. So that proves that that day is fine. Now
this is very interesting, because this is what happened. Shake the
rook, one of the great scholars of North Africa. He says, You should
abstain from the days in which some Hadith has been mentioned,
even if those Hadith a week, you should abstain from having cupping
done on those days that have been considered to be blameworthy.
And in the ones that you should abstain, unless you've got so much
emotion, right, unless you've got so much emotion. And, you know, so
for other reason, just like Imam Malik had it done he you know, he
didn't matter. It didn't matter him. It's mentioned that there was
one scholar who had cupping done on Wednesday. Wednesday was the
day that you should avoid it right? Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday. So he had coming down on Wednesday. And after that he got
sick, some illness. So he went to sleep and he saw Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam in his dream. And he complained to
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam that Oh, I mean, the
sickness, I've got this illness. So the boy loves him said, haven't
you heard that the one who does cupping on Saturday, or the one
who does cupping on Wednesday, and then he gets disease? I mean, so
he becomes ill, then he should only blame himself. Haven't you
heard that hadith? So he responded, he said, Yes, I have
heard that hadith, but it wasn't Sahai. I've heard the standard
sort of Lhasa. Yes, I've heard the Hadith, but it's not sorry. It's
not authentic.
So the prophets Allah son told him Amma yak fika, called Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi. Salam is it wasn't enough for you that it said
they're called Rasulullah Rasulullah. SallAllahu said it.
Because you know, even the weak Hadith, the reason why we don't
call them fabricated is because we don't know the truth about them.
And there are indications that Rosa was a may have not said it.
But there is an absolute possibility that he could have
said it. That's why they're weak, because the narrator who's
transmitting them used to forget, or has made mistakes, so he could
have done that in here. So he just makes all of his Hadith weak, do
you understand, but it's still possible that he was right in that
one. But we can't rely on that. That's what's important. So then,
what the other mentioned on this, Imam Ghazali says, is that any of
these Hadith, even if they're weak, when it comes to things
about if you, you know, it's not about it's got nothing to do with
farther than wajib? Do this, you know, go on to this action, go and
do this worship. It's not about worship. It's all about medicine,
isn't it? So he's saying that because it's about medicine as
your body and things you should avoid, it is best to avoid it,
because it's got nothing to do with that gum. But that's, you
know, that's up to the individual. And even this, the fact that this
person discolor saw this in a dream that's that's between him.
Dreams are not enough evidence for anybody else. You know, you can't
prove through a dream and make something further than somebody
else. If you see Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam telling you to
do something in your dream might be conferred on you to do it,
because when you see Rasulullah sallallahu some it's definitely
him. But if Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam tells you to do something,
you can't tell somebody else, you must do it as well. It's not
evidence for him because he doesn't have to trust you on that,
because he's not from Allah subhanaw taala and you know,
there's no proof it's not through the prophets. Allah isn't directly
or through the Quran. That's just kind of very interesting, even
know how to ask ALLAH and he says that the best day for cupping is
Tuesday, if it corresponds with the 17th of the month, so if you
can find the 17th of the Islamic month with a Tuesday the problem
is that we have two candidates running in media all the time. So
what do you mean by 17? But I guess you could take the benefit
of the doubt regardless of which they you know, if it comes in that
opinion, or that opinion, 100 laces 17 is according to somebody.
So even though here's your law school, and he he says that the
best day is the Tuesday, if it is the 17th day of the month or the
19th of the month or the 21st day of the month, that's the best day
for copying. And the best time is mentioned as being the daytime
Ibnu Sina said this, every senator said this and he was a physician
as well. He was a philosopher and a physician. He said the best time
is in the daytime. He says the second hour or the third hour,
what is the second or third hour not two o'clock at night, three
o'clock at night. This is after in the morning for
So that's how they used to have time about 100 years ago even the
first hour the second hour, third or fourth or fifth LC and then it
was noon time. That's why the Hadith about Juma says that
whoever comes to the masjid in the first hour, it doesn't mean at one
o'clock at night. It means though, in the morning, the first hour, he
gets the greatest reward in the second hour, the third or the
fourth hour. They shake the career Rahmatullah he, about 6070 years
ago, this probably a bit more 7080 years ago, this time was used even
in Saudi and everywhere else, this 24 hour clock is a very recent
thing. Can you believe that we're living in times where so much has
changed in the last 50 years, that the amount that the world was so
synchronous for many hundreds of years, until about 5060 years when
things just totally changed? So amazing by what we do, what we do,
what we eat, how we travel, everything. So yes, he says it's
best to do it in the daytime, in the first second or third hour, so
it's morning time we're talking about and don't do it after having
a bath. Right? Don't do it after having a bath generally, or after
*. And don't do it either on a really full stomach or
when you're totally hungry, right because you could probably faint
in that case, I think you're really hungry and then suddenly
you lose some blood as well. So he says don't do it in that as well.
Am he mentions that look, there's two reasons why you would do
cupping one is as a treatment and a cure because you've got a
problem and they have prescribed cupping for you. Right a blood
extraction then obviously in that case, you're gonna have to do it
regardless of when it is but when it's done just for general well
being and as a preventive as a general health thing, then go and
try to get the best days that you're going to do it on. The last
hadith of this chapter is Hadith number 372. That's the only one we
have left and then it's the next chapter.
So in this this hadith, Hadith number 372 is related from Anna
signo Malik Radi Allahu Anhu. And the rasool Allah is Allah Allahu
Allah. He was telling me that Gemma, well, who are Merryman be
Merlin, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had cupping done
while he was in Iran. And he had this done while he was in Iran,
which shows that to do cupping during a haram is not a problem.
And he had it done in a place called Mala. Mala is a place
between Makkah and Medina, about 17 miles from Madina Munawwara
that's where he had it done to us on his journey. You had the
cupping done. I love the real Kedah. Khuddam. And where did he
have it? We read that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam had
cupping done on his neck, and between his shoulder blades, this
one is another real qaddoum. He had it on the top surface of his
foot on the surface of his foot. So he had the cupping done there
as well.
To have it done on the between the shoulder blades is the easiest and
the most common one, the one on the neck is a bit more sensitive.
But this one also happens. And one of the benefits of doing it on the
cudham is because there's no need and there's also on the head. But
in this case, because you're in Iran, you can't remove any hair.
So generally on the top surface of the foot, on the surface of the
foot, there's no need to remove any hair to do the to do the
cupping. So that's why he did it there.
Imam Malik Rahmatullah here it says here that
it should be avoided on the foot it's Makrooh on the foot unless
there's a reason. So there was a lesson probably did it there
because of a reason. Otherwise, it's not a place that's
recommended. According to Imam Malik only, there's a hadith in
Bukhari from Ignite Abbas of the Allahu Anhu and YBNL Bucha. In
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
had cupping done while in Iran
in the middle of his head in a place called ma know it by a lake
or some reservoir or some water whose
whose name was lucky Jamal. So he had cupping done in this place
called Lucha Jamal. The other one the other Hadith, which we read,
which is intermarry. Shamal Timothy says that he had it done
in Milan, and it was done on the foot. And this other Hadith says
that it was done in another place and in the middle of the head.
That means he both of these happen during a haram during Hajj during
the pilgrimage. So did he do it twice during that one? Suffer one
travel one journey, or is there a difference of opinion as to where
it happened? But it seems so much of a difference of opinion because
two different places I mentioned and also two different places
where the cupping was done I mentioned. So the aroma con
I'd say 100% What it is, but it's possible that they were he did it
twice, one in one place. And then he did it in the other place. And
some of the aroma, they have said that the one that happened in the
middle of the head that was done in hospital, whether in the final
farewell hedge of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
the one that was done on the foot also may have happened at the same
time, in the same journey. Or it's also possible that that was done
later on at the end of his life.
Later on, Allah knows best. The benefit of having it on top of the
video last week, we read about the benefit of having it on the neck
and behind on the shoulder blades. The benefit of having it on the
foot is that it benefits from any problems that you would have on
the thighs, and also the shins. And it also helps with other forms
of recorded
itching that takes place. So it's supposed to have that kind of a
benefit.
Now, these were the famous Hadith about this, these were the famous
Hadith about this. There are a number of other Hadith which are
maybe a bit weak, that tell you about different things. So we're
just going to quickly cover those as well.
According to ignore Hydroflask Kalani, the great Hadith scholar,
he says that there's a very, very weak Hadith, Hadith and even
Gitlin, a very, very weak Hadith, which says that Al hijama al
hijama, to ferrets eaten for Omen southern to have cupping done in
the head on the head has seven benefits. He's just mentioning
this that this has also been mentioned, it's a very, very fatty
if you can't say because of that day, it's going to be sooner,
because there's a very, very weak Hadith. Right. So we don't know
this, you know, we don't want to insist on it. But he's saying it
for the additional benefit. So what are the seven benefits? One
is it protects from insanity. It protects from leprosy. It protects
from
a number of other diseases generally to do with that deal
from headache from
other forms of illness on the on the head and the face, and the
eyes. So all of that has been because the the dirty blood is
being removed, or the excess blood is being removed. We read last
week, though, that you can't say hey, Jama is necessarily healthy
for every person in every country at every age, as sometimes people
try to encourage a sunnah. So because it's Sunday, you must use
it. Right? Because honey is a sunnah honey is Shiva. But it
doesn't mean you can drink a whole pot of it. Right? So you have to
understand how these things are placed. So that's why there anima
have discussed that in hot countries, the blood is generally
pulled out, and it's on the surface for a youth. That's why
it's, it's fine there. But for young for people in cold areas,
the blood is generally inside because there's not as much
movement, you know, not as hot, and so on. So it does not
necessarily mean that it's healthy for people in cold countries. But
again, it depends. Likewise, for older people, they don't recommend
it. Right this is these are some of the later physicians who don't
recommend it. But for some people, it might be fine if they've got a
problem. So as maybe, like a general thing to do, maybe not.
But if it is a reason reason for it, then of course, because
there's different climates.
We also discussed last week, the strangeness of eating foods from
hot countries in England in cold countries. And, you know, because
obviously, there's a reason why you don't have mangoes in this
country, for example, they don't grow in this country. So these are
all things to think about. Anyway.
The other thing is, there's another Hadith which is related,
Allah knows best its status, it mentions that hijama in the place
that touches the ground when a person
sleeps on the floor on his back. So in the parts of the body,
sorry, in the head, you know, when you're sleeping on your back. So
essentially the back part of the head to do hijama there.
There is that protects from a number of that protects from a
number of things. It's a shift from 72 illnesses to have at the
back. So it's the middle of the back of the head, the part that
touches the ground when you see on your back
a wound or email us for honey he has another Hadith in which it
mentions that that is a she fought for five, five things, and among
them is leprosy.
IGNOU Shaybah and mentions
something different. He says no, actually, it's bad to do hijama
cupping on the back of the head because it creates forgetfulness,
it's bad, it's injurious to the head. And he even brings another
narration. So it looks like there were lots of narrations that were
going around about where to do it and what not to do. So some of the
element mentioned that if this hadith is established, then it's
maybe because you know
It's the back of the head and the certain part of the brain is there
and it's not good to suck the blood out of there, if it's done
without dura, but if the physicians who know this and they
say that no, that is what's going to be beneficial for you because
there's excess blood or blood clot or something like that, or
whatever the case is, then it could be beneficial. So what I
think we're all the conclusion of this whole thing is that you just
because it's so nice, doesn't mean that you have to go and get it
done all the time. They probably saw some did it for a reason. Not
that okay to wear a turban right is something additional. It's not
done as it's done for, you know, beauty purposes. It's done for
dignity, dignity purposes is done for those kinds of purposes. You
could call that a sunnah to a certain degree, right? sitting
down and eating, eating, drinking, sitting down, urinating, sitting
down all of these things. You can say a sunnah because there's a
particular benefit is not done a larger is not done as a cure. But
hijama was done as a cure. So now to take the cure and make it a
sunnah that you should go on to get it done once a month or
something like that. Everybody doesn't necessarily agree with
that. Right? There's some who said it's a sunnah but generally the
pros are some did it as a cure. So alhamdulillah you can get it done
once in a while as a cure as well. alojamento Salamanca, Salam Tabata
