Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the ruling on the earnings of a cupper?
Answer:
It is permissible, but it is disliked. It is permissible, but it is disliked. The statement that the earnings of a cupper are foul means they are bad. A Muslim should seek a profession by which to earn a living other than cupping. If he performs cupping and takes a fee, this is permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed cupping and gave the cupper his fee. If it had been forbidden, he would not have given it to him. But the statement that the earnings of a cupper are foul means they are bad. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wants the Muslim to elevate himself above lowly professions and seek noble ones. Yes.
