Fatwa CenterIslamic medication for migraine
Question
I have migraine for the past 10 years,my age is 19, i have tried all medicines but no relief,is there any islamic medication to get relief from this terrible headache.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
We have already issued Fatwa 89176 clarifying what is mentioned in the Sunnah for treating migraine, like performing cupping and applying Henna. It is reported that there is no one who complained to the Prophet about a headache except that he would advise him to perform cupping. It is also confirmed that the Prophet performed cupping in his head while in the state of Ihraam because of having a headache.
Therefore, if you wish to have more information about migraine, its types, its causes and the methods of treating it, then you should read the translated abridged version of the book of Ibn Al-Qayyim 
entitled Zaad Al-Mi’aad, as he wrote a chapter about the guidance of the Prophet in treating migraine and headache.
For more benefit on Ruqyah, please refer to Fataawa 88705, 82918 and 85500.
