Cupping for the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does cupping invalidate the fast, or has it been abrogated?
Answer:
There is a difference of opinion among the scholars on this. Some held that it invalidates the fast because of the flow of blood from the one being cupped, while others held that it does not invalidate it, citing the fact that the Companions and others did not dislike it except on account of weakness. The scholars have differed on this matter, and the well-known view is that it breaks the fast, and that the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) final position was that it breaks the fast of the one fasting. However, the disagreement remains, and the evidence from both sides is strong. Therefore, it is better for the believer to stay away from it during the daytime, and to be cautious with his religion, and not to undergo cupping except at night. What is this question about the scale?
