Is it permissible, Islamically, to combine ruqyah sharia (Islamic exorcism) and hijama (cupping) to get rid of a jinn that possesses a person in cases of sorcery or touch, and was such an act reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or any of his companions?

Cupping (hijamah) is prescribed for treatment, and it was narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that it is "a cure for every disease" if performed at specific times. However, scholars have interpreted this general statement to refer to diseases resulting from blood dominance. Therefore, cupping does not primarily treat jinn or magic, unless the practitioner deems that it assists in the treatment, such as calming the patient. This matter is left to experience.
