The Ruling on Cupping and the Fasting of the Cupper Using a Suction Device

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner asks: Is it said that cupping is a Prophetic sunnah (recommended practice) and mustahabb (recommended)?

The Shaykh:
No, it is mubah (permissible); it is said to be mubah (permissible).

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) , now the blood is not sucked directly with the mouth, but rather through a suction device. Does the cupper break his fast by doing so?

The Shaykh:
The hadith remains in its generality; the hadith remains in its generality, and it is not permissible for a fasting person to undergo cupping. If he undergoes cupping, his fast is invalidated and he breaks his fast by the cupping, because he has extracted the blood that provides his strength; he has extracted the blood that provides his strength, the blood that helps him in fasting. Yes.
