The question

Is it true that Imam Al-Sadiq, may Allah be pleased with him, said that cupping on the head treats seven ailments (insanity, leprosy, vitiligo, drowsiness, toothache, migraine, and poor eyesight), and is there a cure for vitiligo in the Qur’an and Sunnah?

The answer

The statement attributed to Ja'far al-Sadiq regarding the treatment of vitiligo is not authentic, as such narrations often constitute falsehoods propagated by the Shia. Cupping (hijama) may be beneficial in treating vitiligo. It is preferable for the patient to combine this with treatment using the Quran through shar'iyyah, such as Al-Fatihah and the Mu'awwidhat, frequent recitation, having good expectations of Allah, and abundant supplication.
