Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner’s sister, cupping has become widespread in our country as a job and a source of income. It has spread in our lands as a job and a practice. What is the ruling on the earnings of cupping, making it a profession, and opening specialized clinics for it?
Answer:
Cupping is a permissible treatment, for it is part of the Prophetic medicine. It is part of the Prophetic medicine; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) underwent cupping. The cupper is given his fee; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) underwent cupping and gave the cupper his fee. So the cupper’s earnings are permissible; his earnings are permissible. However, it is better for him to seek his livelihood from a profession other than this. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) that “the cupper’s earnings are foul” means that they are bad. It is not forbidden; it means they are bad, like[Al-Baqarah 2:267], meaning the bad.
The Messenger encouraged him to seek his livelihood from a cleaner source than this one. Otherwise, his work is permissible, and people have a need for it.
