2166. It was narrated from Harām bin Muhayyisah that his father asked the Prophet ﷺ about the earnings of a cupper and he forbade him from that. Then he mentioned his need and he said: "Spend it on feeding your she-camels that draw water." (Sahih)
2166 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَنْ كَسْبِ الْحَجَّامِ، فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهُ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُ الْحَاجَةَ، فَقَالَ: «اعْلِفْهُ نَوَاضِحَكَ»

Cupping is a type of treatment; it is a special technique from which extra blood from the body is drained out. Earning by the practice of cupping is not unlawful, otherwise the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would not have paid Abu Taibah ﷺ for cupping. But it can be classified as disliked because of the Prophet's forbiddance. Also it is known from the command of feeding it to the camels that this earning is not unlawful rather it is disliked.
