The Effect of Cupping with Modern Tools on the Fasting of the One Who Performs Cupping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: We have learned that the cupper breaks his fast by cupping because he sucks the blood with his mouth. Does the one who uses modern instruments and does not use his mouth break his fast?
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
Does the cupper who uses modern instruments without sucking with his mouth break his fast by doing so?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, the apparent generality of the hadith is that he breaks his fast, but the meaning stated by the scholars is that it is because he fears that blood may splash onto him. So he does not break his fast with modern instruments, but the apparent meaning of the hadith is that he breaks his fast. Yes.
