Cupping and Defects of Dignity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is performing cupping considered one of the defects of dignity?
Answer:
No, actually cupping. Cupping is a treatment; it is a type of Prophetic medicine. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed cupping; he (peace and blessings be upon him) was cupped and gave the cupper his fee. But in the hadith it means that what is bad is not forbidden, meaning that bad is not haram. The bad that is mentioned means the defective. [Al-Baqarah 2:267] And what is meant by bad is the defective. One does not give charity from the defective, but rather from the good. Similarly, his saying and regarding the onion, its tree is bad, meaning its defective part is not haram. It has some lowliness, but people must have this thing, and it is better for the noble one to abstain from it, without any doubt. Yes.

The earnings of the cupper are evil
كسب الحجام خبيثAnd do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending
وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَThe earnings of the cupper are evil
كسب الحجام خبيث
