Question:
He asks: Does cupping invalidate the fast?
Answer:
Yes, the correct view is that cupping invalidates the fast, based on the hadith: "The one who performs cupping and the one who is cupped have broken their fast." This is in the authentic collections. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The wisdom behind this is that cupping draws out blood, which contains the strength of the person. Therefore, a fasting person should not undergo cupping, because if he does, his strength will be weakened, and both the fast and the loss of blood will be upon him. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited cupping during fasting.
