Cupping while Fasting

· 27 Safar 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person undergoes cupping while fasting, does the fast become nullified?

Answer

Undergoing cupping while fasting does not nullify the fast. However, if through past experience, one knows that cupping causes physical weakness, then in that case, it will be makrooh to undergo cupping while fasting.
