The Ruling on Cupping with a Machine and the Fasting of the Cupper
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, the cupper. He sucks the blood, or rather, he draws the blood with a machine. So, does the cupper break his fast?
Answer:
The generality of the hadith means that they say the blood flies; this is a reasoning and a seeking of a cause. But the hadith is clear; the hadith is general in that the cupper breaks his fast. And perhaps in this is a prevention of the means, because the cupper is the means to cupping. So, if the cupper is prevented, cupping is prevented.
