1682 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ مُحْرِمٌ»

Commentary
According to Shaikh Albâni, may Allâh have mercy on him, the mentioned Hadith is Authentic with the following wording: "He was cupped while he was fasting, and he ﷺ was also cupped in a state of Ihrâm"; cupping while fasting and whilst in the state of Ihrâm are two separate occasions. It is not the case that the cupping took place and the Prophet ﷺ was in state of Ihrâm, at the same time he was fasting too. b. Imâm Mâlik stated that cupping for a fasting person is disliked only if it weakens him. (Muwatta Imâm Mâlik:18/32) Shaikh Abdul-Qâdir Arna'ut said in the footnotes of Jâmi-ul-Usul (6/4416, 4417): "The rule that cupping to drain the blood breaks the fast has been abrogated." Imâm Shawkânî ﷺ discussed this issue with detail, and he conclusively said: "These Ahâdîth can be reconciled that cupping is disliked for a person who feels weak after being cupped." I would like to say that one should be careful regarding this sort of issue as was the practice of 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar ﷺ. Imâm Bukhârî says: "Ibn 'Umar ﷺ used to have cupping while fasting but later he abandoned this practice, and then he would have cupping at night, and also Abu Musa ﷺ was cupped at night."
