The Ruling on Taking a Fee for Cupping

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a resident in the Kingdom, whose name is abbreviated as S-M-Tajani. He asks: What is the ruling on one who takes a fee for performing cupping on people, and considers this his job from which he earns his livelihood?

Answer:
This is a ready job, but it is lowly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The earnings of the cupper are evilكسب الحجام خبيث
meaning that it is lowly. So he should seek his livelihood through a method or a job that is more noble than this; otherwise, it is ready. Yes.
