Recommended days for cupping ( Hijama) are 17th, 19th & 21 of the Islamic month.
As it is mentioned in Hadees :
▪️"Whoever performs Hijama cupping in the 17th, 19th and 21st day (of the Islamic Lunar month), then it is a cure for every disease”. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 3861).
▪️Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"The best days on which you should have cupping (ḥijāmah) are the 17th, 19th, and 21st days of the (lunar) month."
