What is the aspect of impurity in the cupper's earnings?
Allah knows best. Perhaps it is from the aspect of drawing blood and sucking blood, for blood is originally impure; perhaps it is for the sake of the aspect of drawing blood.
Some scholars said: It is from the perspective of cooperation among Muslims; therefore, one should not take a fee because it is a simple matter, and it is not befitting to take a fee for it, just as one treats his brother in light matters that do not require a fee, such as carrying his goods to his car or onto his mount, which does not require payment, and likewise simple matters should not require a fee, from the perspective of cooperation.
