Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a hadith that says “The cupper and the one cupped have broken their fast,” and what is its meaning?
Answer:
Yes, the hadith is authentic. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw two men, a cupper and the one being cupped, or he saw a man cupping himself while fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The cupper and the one cupped have broken their fast.” The hadith is authentic. As for the one cupped, it is because a large amount of blood, which is his strength and protection, was extracted from him. As for the cupper, they said that something might fly up to his throat because he is sucking the cup; something of the blood might fly up to his throat. Yes.
