Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: How do you reconcile the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "The one who performs cupping and the one who is cupped break their fast," with the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was cupped while fasting?

Answer:
He was cupped while fasting. They say it is a mistake; it is not accurate. The correct version is that he was cupped while in the state of ihram. This is the authentic narration. As for the narration that he was cupped while fasting, it is an error. Even if it is in al-Bukhari, it is an error. Therefore, Imam Muslim turned away from it and did not narrate it. This is what Imam Ahmad stated explicitly: that the narration "he broke his fast while being cupped while fasting" is an error. The correct version is that he was cupped while in the state of ihram. Yes.
