Why these days?

The 17th, 19th and 21st

Hijama has a long history in the Muslim community, and several well-known narrations — including reports in Sunan Abu Dawud and other collections — mention the 17th, 19th and 21st days of the lunar month as favoured days for it. That is why so many people ask us for a slot on those dates, and why we list them here for Calgary.

Scholars discuss the grading of these narrations and how best to follow them, and some also mention particular weekdays to prefer or avoid. Many consider hijama on these days a recommended practice rather than an obligation. We are practitioners, not scholars, so please ask your imam or a scholar you trust about the religious side. From our side, any day of the month is welcome for a session.

Because the Islamic calendar follows the moon, the three Sunnah days fall on different Gregorian dates every month and move roughly eleven days earlier each year. The table below does the arithmetic for you.

About the moon

Dates are calculated with the Umm al-Qura calendar for Calgary time and may differ by a day from local moon sighting. Calgary mosques may announce the start of a month — especially Ramadan, Shawwal and Dhul Hijjah — from a local sighting, which can shift the Sunnah days by a day. If your community follows sighting, count from the announced first day; if you're unsure, message us.

Extra hours on Sunnah days

We add appointment slots on the 17th, 19th and 21st for both men's and ladies' sessions. If you have a particular Sunnah day in mind, booking a week or two ahead helps — the booking calendar shows exactly what is open.

Not a Sunnah day? Still welcome

Many clients come whenever it suits them and return to a Sunnah day when they can. Please leave at least two weeks between wet cupping sessions.
