Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was going towards Baqi‘ when he saw a man being cupped. He said: "The one who does cupping and the one who gets cupped, their fast is broken." Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I avoid cupping while fasting in Ramadan. Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Do you say this, that one should avoid cupping while fasting? He replied: Yes.
