The Ruling on the One Who Performs Cupping Breaking His Fast by Means of Instruments

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
The one who performs cupping and the one being cupped break their fast.أفطر الحاجم والمحجوم
The scholars have explained that the one who performs cupping breaks his fast because he sucks the blood, causing it to splash into his throat. Yes, that is correct. He says: Now, the one who performs cupping does not suck the blood with his mouth, but rather through instruments. Does he break his fast by doing so?

Answer:
By Allah, the hadith is general. The hadith is general. The one who performs cupping breaks his fast because he assisted the one being cupped in this cupping, he assisted him, even if he did not suck the blood, and the hadith remains as it is. Yes.
