It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: (The earnings of the cup-taker are bad) and in the other hadith, he gave the cup-taker his wage. How do you reconcile these two hadiths?
It is established that he named onions, garlic, and the like as bad. Is it lawful or forbidden? It is lawful. This is similar to it.Bad, meaning: It is a bad earning, so the cup-taker should not take a wage. If he does take one, it should be only for the work done, without profit. However, it is not forbidden. For this reason, Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) argued with the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) giving the cup-taker his wage as proof that it is lawful.So he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping performed and gave the cup-taker his wage. If it had been forbidden, he would not have given it to him. The term "bad" has many meanings.Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:

spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending

أَنْفِقُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَلا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ

[al-Baqarah: 267] What is meant by "bad"? "Bad" means poor quality. Not every "bad" thing is forbidden. The intended meaning of "bad" may be poor quality, or something that people dislike, for example.
