Is It Permissible to Take Payment for Cupping (Hijama)?

The Ruling on Taking Payment for Cupping (Hijama) in Modern Practice

Is it prohibited to take payment for cupping (hijama), but can one practice it as a profession in today’s advanced world where cupping is done with scientific instruments?

Answer: It is known from authentic hadiths in Nasai, Ibn Majah, and Musnad Ahmad that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited taking payment for cupping. However, it is mentioned in the Sahihain that the Prophet ﷺ himself paid for cupping. Both types of hadiths exist, and in light of both, it can be said that taking payment for cupping is permissible with some dislike.
