The Meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) Saying: "The Earnings of the Cupper Are Foul"

The Shaykh : And among the uses of "foul" to describe bad earnings is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): : The cupper who draws blood by cupping; his earnings are foul, meaning bad, and it is not intended that they are forbidden. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said: "If the earnings of the cupper were forbidden, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have given him his wage" , , because the Messenger does not approve of the forbidden nor assist in the forbidden. But this is in the category of earnings that are bad and lowly; a person should keep himself away from them, and he should cup people when they need cupping as a favor and voluntarily.
