However, we ask you refrain from going to the gym for 24 hours as the cuts are fresh and when you sweat, it might sting you a bit. Moreover, gym is a public area which is not typically hygienic, so it’s best to wait until the cuts have healed which doesn’t take more than 24 hrs.

Hijama can have the following effects :
1) Feeling of dizziness

3) Feverish
4) Pain in the body
5) Weakness
The above mentioned effects is not an exhaustive list of but mostly we have seen these effects happen spefically to those people who are aflicted by the touch of the Jinn or have been aflicted with black magic.
However, when we see these signs, we make the person relaxed and we make sure to give them water and or honey or juices and observe them to make sure they are ok afterwards.
Can hijama cure black magic
Our Prophet (PBUH) applied hijama on his forehead when black magic (sihr) was done on him. Hence we know one of the cures of black magic, is applying hijama on the head. With experience we have also seen that people who are afflicted with black magic are also possessed by Jinn, so we try to find the place in the body where the jinn residing and apply hijama on those points/areas.
