Fasting and Cupping (Hijama): What You Need to Know
First Hijāmah (Cupping) while fasting was disapproved
Narrated by Shaddad b. Aws:
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) came to a man at al-Baqi' while he was cupping on the eighteenth of Ramadan, he (the Prophet (ﷺ)) was holding my hand. Thereupon he (ﷺ) said: “A man who cups and a man who gets himself cupped break their fast.”
📗[Graded sahīh by Al-Albāni in Sunan Abī Dāwud 2369]📗
It was then approved:
Anas bin Mālik narrated:
The first time cupping was disapproved for the one who is fasting was when Ja’far bin Abi Talib (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) had himself cupped while fasting and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came across him and said, “Those two have broken their fast (meaning Ja'far and the man who was cupping him.)” But later on the Prophet (ﷺ) allowed cupping for the one who is fasting. Anas bin Mālik used to have himself cupped while he was fasting.
📚[Related by Ad-Daraqutnī (2/182), who regarded it as a strong hadīth, check Bulugh al-Marām Hadīth 688, Ash Shawkānī said, “it’s isnād (chain) of narrators are (thiqāt) trustworthy,” in As-Sayl al-Jarrār 2/119]📚
Narrated by Ibn ‘Abbās:
The Prophet (ﷺ) was cupped while he was in the state of lhram, and also while he was observing a fast.
[Sahih al-Bukhārī 1938]
Narrated by Thābit Al-Bunanī:
Anas bin Mālik was asked whether they disliked the cupping for a fasting person. He replied in the negative and said, “Only if it causes weakness.”
📘[Sahih al-Bukhārī 1940]📘
Imām Mālik (may Allāh be pleased with him) said,
“Cupping is only disapproved of for some one who is fasting out of fear that he will become weak and if it were not for that, it would not be disapproved of. I do not think that a man who is cupped in Ramadan and does not break his fast, owes anything, and I do not say that he has to make up for the day on which he was cupped, because cupping is only disapproved of for someone fasting if his fast is endangered. I do not think that someone who is cupped, and is then well enough to keep the fast until evening, owes anything, nor does he have to make up for that day.”
📙[Muwatta Mālik, Book 18, Hadīth 32]
The majority of the scholars and three of the four well-known Imāms of the madhhabs (Abu Hanīfah, Imām Mālik and Ash-Shāfi’ī) hold that the fasting person’s fast is not broken through cupping
