Does Hijama/Wet Cupping Break Wudu(Ablution)?
This is a common question, I usually come across whether the Hijama break Wudu.
According to the Islamic point of view, there are two schools of thought whether cupping breaks wudu or we can perform salaah after cupping without performing ablution.
What Breaks Wudu
Wudu is an Islamic ritual performed by Muslims before prayer. It involves purifying body parts with water and, in some cases, tayammum—Wudu emphasis on spiritual and physical cleanliness. Muslims can’t pray without wudu. Let’s explore the options that break wudu.
- Natural body excretion (Urine, feces, fart)
- Mouthful of vomiting
- Deep sleep
- Sexual intercourse
- Loss of consciousness
- Menstruation
- Leaking of blood due to illness
Cupping Doesn’t Break Wudu
According to the majority of scholars including the companions of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H), bleeding doesn’t break wudu other than coming from male and female sexual organs.
A Hadith mentions that Our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) performed Hijama and prayed salaah without performing wudu. However, the narration is weak.
