Is cupping forbidden for the fasting person?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : I see that cupping breaks the fast, but what is its ruling? Is it forbidden for the fasting person or not?

Answer : It is forbidden for the fasting person unless there is dire necessity. For example, sometimes blood rushes in a person to the point that he faints. In that case, there is no harm in him performing cupping. Yes.
