The cupper taking a fee for cupping

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible for the cupper to take a fee for cupping?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This means it is lowly, not that it is evil or forbidden. It is lowly because he took a fee for a lowly act, which is sucking blood. So this trade is lowly. And yet, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) underwent cupping and gave the cupper his fee. So there is nothing wrong with it, but it is lowly earnings. He should engage in work other than cupping. Yes.
