Sunan Abi Dawud 2369 (Book 14, Hadith 57) #22660
Cupping and Fasting on the 18th of Ramadan

SUMMARY: Cupping on the 18th of Ramadan does not break one's fast.

Narrated Shaddad b. Aws: The Messenger of Allah came to a man at al-Baqi' while he was cupping on the 18th of Ramadan ; he (the Prophet) was holding my hand. Thereupon he said: A man who cups and a man who gets himself cupped break their fast. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Khalid al-Hadhdha' transmitted a similar tradition from Abu Qilabah through a different chain of narrators mentioned by the narrator Ayyub.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ بِالْبَقِيعِ وَهُوَ يَحْتَجِمُ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِي لِثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَى خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ بِإِسْنَادِ أَيُّوبَ مِثْلَهُ

This hadith is about cupping and fasting during the month of Ramadan. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was visiting a man who was getting himself cupped on the 18th day of Ramadan while holding Shaddad b. Aws’ hand when he said that a man who cups or gets himself cupped does not break his fast. This hadith teaches us that although cupping is allowed during fasting, it does not break one’s fast as long as no food or drink is consumed before or after it. It also shows us how important it is to follow Islamic teachings even in small matters such as this one, since they are all from Allah ï·» .
