Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit: One should not take payment for cupping (hijama); in this hadith, it is stated that if any payment is given, it should be fed to the camels. However, a previous hadith has already been mentioned in which the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself gave payment to the person who performed cupping (hijama).
