4299. It was narrated that Wāqīʿ bin Khadīj said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘The worst of earnings are the gift of a female fornicator, the price of a dog and the earnings of a cupper.’” (Sahih)

Arabic text

4294 - أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «شَرُّ الْكَسْبِ مَهْرُ الْبَغِيِّ، وَثَمَنُ الْكَلْبِ، وَكَسْبُ الْحَجَّامِ»

Commentary

'Hajjam or cupper': In those days, the person who practiced cupping used to be called a Hajjam. Since the cupper is required to suck the bad blood, Allâh's Messenger ﷺ did not consider this vocation appropriate for earning a livelihood. For earning a livelihood, some good vocation should be adopted. But, if someone practices cupping out of beneficence or compassion, it ought to be done gratis, so that one may gain a recompense (from Allâh).
