Turkish Cultural Center Massachusetts organized a blood drive in collaboration with Dana Farber Cancer Institute on March twenty-eight and two thousand fifteen.
Dr. Aghayev summarized the benefits of donating blood to the donor, and its social impacts with medical references. He also touched on the references of blood donation in Islamic tradition. He said Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) encouraged cupping (hajamat). Dr. Aghayev stated that the scholars advise administering of medical treatment by the medical experts. Therefore, one must exercise caution and consult with a physician regarding any medical treatment, including blood donation and cupping, recommended by Rasulullah (peace be upon him).
