Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The sixth. Okay, brother, you indicated. Okay, yes.
The questioner : The ejection of blood through cupping.
The Shaykh : The evidence for the ejection of blood through cupping. What is the evidence?
The questioner : That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was cupping himself and said:.
The Shaykh : "The one who performs cupping and the one who is cupped break their fast." This is the evidence. There is a reasoning, a reasoning meaning a wisdom behind the fact that cupping breaks the fast. The ejection of blood through cupping breaks the fast.
The questioner : As for the one who is cupped, it is because blood came out of him. As for the one who performs cupping, Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : Okay, and what is the wisdom if blood comes out of him?
The questioner : He becomes weak.
The Shaykh : He becomes weak and needs nourishment and strengthening. For this reason, we say that if fasting is not obligatory, then if you break your fast, eat and drink. If it is obligatory, it is not permissible for you to cup yourself because you would invalidate an obligatory fast. Okay.
