Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If a lady is experiencing PCOS, fertility issues, and hormonal imbalances, seeking medical treatment to alleviate these conditions is permissible and encouraged in Islam.
Fire cupping involves creating a vacuum inside glass or bamboo cups by briefly introducing a flame into the cup to remove the air and then quickly placing the cup on the skin. As the air inside the cup cools, it creates a suction effect, which draws the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. This method has been used traditionally in various cultures, including Islamic medicine.
With regards to the permissibility of Yoga, please refer to this fatwa.
In conclusion, it is permissible for a lady experiencing PCOS, fertility issues, and hormonal imbalances to seek treatment through methods like fire cupping, wet cupping, acupuncture, and other permissible treatment modalities that may help alleviate these conditions.[i]
