774. Rāfi' bin Khadīj narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The cupper and the one cupped have broken the fast." (Sahīh)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) There are narrations on this topic from Sa'd, 'Alī, Shaddād bin Aws, Thawbān, Usāmah bin Zaid, 'Aishah, Ma'qil bin Yasār – and they call him Ma'qil bin Sinān– Abū Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbās, Abū Mūsā, and Bilāl.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) The Hadīth of Rāfi' bin Khadīj is a Hasan Sahīh Hadīth. It has been mentioned that Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal said: "The most correct thing on this topic is the Hadīth of Rāfi' bin Khadīj." And, it has been mentioned that 'Alī bin Abdullāh said: "The most correct thing on this topic is the Hadīth of Thawbān and Shaddād bin Aws, because Yaḥya bin Abī Kathīr reported both of those Aḥādīth, that of Thawbān, and that of Shaddād bin Aws."
There are those people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and others, who disliked cupping for the fasting person, such that some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ would be cupped during the night, among them are Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'arī and Ibn 'Umar. This is the view of Ibn Al-Mubārak.
Abū 'Eisā said: I heard Ishāq bin Maṣ'ūd saying: "Abdur-Raḥmān
bin Mahdī said: 'Whoever is cupped while he is fasting, then he has to make it up.'" Ishāq bin Maṣūr said: "Aḥmad bin Hanbal and Ishāq bin Ibrāhīm said this."
Abū 'Eisā said: Al-Ḥasan bin Muḥammad Az-Za'frānī informed me: "Ash-Shāfīī said: 'It has been reported that the Prophet ﷺ would be cupped while he was fasting, and (it has been reported that) the Prophet ﷺ said: "The cupper and the one cupping have broken the fast." And I do not know of either of these two Aḥādīth being confirmed. If a man avoids cupping while he is fasting then that is preferred to me. If a man is cupped while he is fasting then I do not see that it breaks his fast."
Abū 'Eisā said: This is the opinion of Ash-Shāfīī while he was in Baghdād, as for what he said in Egypt, he inclined to allowing it and he did not see any harm in cupping [for the fasting person], he argued that the Prophet ﷺ was cupped during the Farewell Hajj while he was a Muḥrim (in a state of Iḥrām) and he was fasting.

٧٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَارِظٍ ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ
خَدِيجٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَفْطَرَ» الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ.
وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَسَعْدٍ، وَشَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، وَثَوْبَانَ، وَأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَعَائِشَةَ، وَمَعْقِلِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ - وَيُقَالُ: ابْنُ يَسَارٍ - وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَبِي مُوسَى، وَبِلَالٍ.
وَحَدِيثُ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
وَذُكِرَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَصَحُّ شَيْءٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ حَدِيثُ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ.
وَذُكِرَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَصَحُّ شَيْءٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ حَدِيثُ ثَوْبَانَ وَشَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ؛ لِأَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ رَوَى عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ جَمِيعًا: حَدِيثَ ثَوْبَانَ، وَحَدِيثَ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ.
وَقَدْ كَرِهَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمُ الْحِجَامَةَ لِلصَّائِمِ، حَتَّى أَنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ احْتَجَمَ بِاللَّيْلِ، مِنْهُمْ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ وَابْنُ عُمَرَ، وَبِهَذَا يَقُولُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ.
سَمِعْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ مَنْصُورٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ: مَنِ
احْتَجَمَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَضَاءُ.
قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ: وَهَكَذَا قَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ.
حَدَّثَنَا الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ قَالَ: وَقَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ احْتَجَمَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ، وَرُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ، وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَاحِدًا مِنْ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ ثَابِتًا، وَلَوْ تَوَقَّى رَجُلٌ الْحِجَامَةَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ، وَلَوِ احْتَجَمَ صَائِمٌ لَمْ أَرَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُفْطِرَهُ.
هَكَذَا كَانَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ بِبَغْدَادَ، وَأَمَّا بِمِصْرَ فَمَالَ إِلَى الرُّخْصَةِ، وَلَمْ يَرَ بِالْحِجَامَةِ لِلصَّائِمِ بَأْسًا، وَاحْتَجَّ بِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ احْتَجَمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ صَائِمٌ.
