The Role of the Hijama

The Role of the Hijama Practitioner or "Cupper" (Al-Hajjam)


The Role of the Hijama Practitioner or "Cupper" (Al-Hajjam) is very important in administering Hijama Therapy. A responsible and conscientious Cupper will abide by the rules, due to his or her own religious and spiritual belief in what is ordained by Allah (SWT) (God) and his final Messenger of Islam; Prophet Muhammad (PBUP). Hijama "Cuppers" are traditionally held in high esteem. Hijama Therapy is considered to be partaking in an act of worship for both the Cupper and Patient. It is the Cupper’s duty to bring back the practice Hijama as much as possible, for the benefit of all human beings;

“Whoever revives a Sunnah from my Sunnah and the people practice it, s/he will have the same reward of those who practice it without their reward diminishing…” (Sunan ibn Maajah -209)
