Yes, Hijama is safe when performed by a trained practitioner using sterile equipment. Safety protocols are followed to ensure cleanliness and minimize risks. All therapists are certified and insured to perform Hijama.

According to the majority opinion, it does not break the fast as mentioned by the following ahadith: [Sahih al-Bukhari No. 5694], [Sahih al-Bukhari No. 1940], [Sahih see Irwaa al-Ghaleel 4/74]. However, some scholars maintain that it may break the fast for either the cupper or the patient, citing [Sunan Abi Dawud No. 2371].

It is recommended to:

• Have a good intention, that Allah heals you through Hijama.
• Fast 2–3 hours before your session.
• Shower before your session.

Ibn Umar narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“Hijama on an empty stomach is best. In it is a cure and a blessing.” [Ibn Maajah No. 3487]

After treatment, you should:

• Avoid strenuous activities.
• Have a nutritious meal.
• Stay hydrated.
• Keep the treated area clean and avoid direct sunlight.

The small cuts made during Hijama typically heal within 3–5 days. Healing time may vary depending on your skin type, overall health, and aftercare practices.

The discoloration or mild bruising usually fades within 5–10 days, depending on factors like skin sensitivity and circulation.

It is best to avoid applying any creams or ointments to the treated area unless specifically recommended by your practitioner. Allow the skin to heal naturally to avoid irritation.

If you experience prolonged redness, swelling, or discomfort, please contact your doctor or practitioner immediately. In case of an emergency (What is an emergency?), call 111 or 999 immediately.

A typical Hijama session lasts 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of cups used and the areas treated. With an added massage or fire cupping, the session may extend up to 90 minutes.

The cost depends on the selected package and the number of cups used. Please refer to the Packages section for detailed pricing information.
