Hijama - A Forgotten Sunnah Hijama (cupping) is a non-surgical procedure in which the “bad” blood is drawn out of the body. In Arabic, the word Hijama literally means to “draw out”. In this procedure, blood is stimulated to accumulate in a specific part of the body and then drawn out through tiny incisions made in that part of the body. The renewed blood flow results in healing. There are numerous benefits of Hijama that have been proven in medical science and Islam. “Indeed in hijama there is a cure,” (Saheeh Muslim).
