Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The one who performs cupping and the one who gets cupped, their fast is broken.”The Imam (author) says: I heard ‘Abbas bin ‘Abd al-‘Azim al-‘Anbari say that I heard ‘Ali bin ‘Abdullah say:“Aftara al-hajimu wal-mahjumu”— the one who performs cupping and the one who gets cupped, their fast is broken. I do not know of any hadith more authentic than this on this issue. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this narration has also been reported by Mu’awiyah bin Salam from Yahya bin Abi Kathir.
