When is Hijama best done?
​
It is recommended that Hijama be practised on the ‘odd’ days of the Lunar Calendar.
Further to this, the specifically prescribed days are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
The optimum Sunnah days to perform Hijama Therapy are the 17th, 19th and 21st days of the Lunar Calendar providing these days coincide with Monday, Tuesday or Thursday is of further benefit.
However it can also be performed on any other day if you have any type of illness as it is not contraindicated.
“Whoever performs cupping (hijama) on the 17th, 19th or 21st day (of the lunar calendar) then it is a cure for every disease.” Reported by Abu Huraira.
