“The cupper and the one for whom cupping is done both break their fast.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1681)  

أحمد:٢٢٤٤٩حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قِلَابَةَ الْجَرْمِيُّ

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْبَقِيعِ مَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَحْتَجِمُ بَعْدَ مَا مَضَى مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ

[Machine] "He (the narrator) mentioned that he was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the time of the conquest (of Mecca), and they passed by a man who had been observing I'tikaf in Al-Baqi' for eighteen days of Ramadan, while still in I'tikaf. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The person observing I'tikaf and the menstruating woman are both fasting.'"

[Machine] I passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for eighteen consecutive nights that passed from Ramadan, and he saw a man shaving his head. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The person shaving his head and the one getting his head shaved have broken their fast."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came across a man who was performing the ritual of Ihram in Al-Baqi for eighteen days of Ramadan while holding my hand, and he said, "The one who performs the ritual of Ihram and the one who does Al-Mahjoon (partially shaving the head and leaving the rest of the hair) should break their fast."

[Machine] Narrated by Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by Al-Baqi' on the eighteenth night that remained from Ramadan and he saw a man who was applying henna. So he said, "Has the person applying henna broken his fast, and the one it was applied to?"

[Machine] I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the eighteenth night of the month of Ramadan, and I saw a man shaving his head. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The one who is shaving his head and the one who has his head shaved have broken their fast."

[Machine] From Thawban, the servant of the Messenger of Allahﷺ he said that he went out with the Messenger of Allahﷺ for eighteen nights of Ramadan to Al-Baqi' (graveyard in Madinah). The Messenger of Allahﷺ looked at a man who was applying hijamah (cupping therapy), so the Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "The one who performs hijamah and the one who gets it done both break their fast."

[Machine] While I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on some streets of the city, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was holding my hand, on the eighteenth night of Ramadan, we came across a man who was performing Ihtijam (bloodletting). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The one performing Ihtijam and the one being subjected to it in this case, both break their fast."
