It is permissible to be treated with cupping (hijama), as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was cupped and encouraged it, stating that it is one of the best remedies. In the Sahihayn, on the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, the best of remedies you have is cupping." To learn about its benefits, refer to the book "Al-Tibb al-Nabawi" (Prophetic Medicine) by Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him.
