777. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ was cupped somewhere between Makkah and Al-Madinah, and he was a fasting and in Iḥrām." (Da'if)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) There are narrations on this topic from Abū Sa'eed, Jābir, and Anas.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn
‘Abbās is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, followed this Ḥadīth, they did not see any harm in cupping for the fasting person. This is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Mālik bin Anas, and Ash-Shāfi‘ī.

Commentary
‘The cupper and the one cupped have broken the fast’ (Ḥadīth no. 774) means they both are on the verge of breaking the fast, because the cupper sucks the blood and it has possibility that the blood would reach the throat, and the one being cupped may get weak due to the blood being drained. The statement of Anas bin Mālik in Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī is that we would dislike cupping because it has risk of causing weakness and instability, whereas some people stated this Ḥadīth is abrogated. (Fath Al-Bārī: 4/426)
