11. Fasting
١١۔ كِتَابُ الصِّيَامِ
[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the year of the conquest, and a man came by who had fasted eighteen or seventeen days of the month of Ramadan. He was feeling weak and exhausted. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He breaks his fast and so does the one who compels [others to fast]."
كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَمَرَّ عَلَيَّ رَجُلٌ لِثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ أَوْ لِسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ يَحْتَجِمُ فَقَالَ أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ
[Machine] We were with the Prophet (PBUH) during the time of conquest when he saw a man who had shaved off only eighteen days from Ramadan. He said, while holding his hand, "This man has broken his fast, as well as the one who plucked his hair."
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ زَمَانَ الْفَتْحِ فَرَأَى رَجُلًا يَحْتَجِمُ لِثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِي أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ
[Machine] That Prophet ﷺ performed the hijama (cupping) while in a state of ihram and fasting. Al-Shafi'i and Ibn Abbas narrated from the Prophet ﷺ in the year of the conquest, and it was not a day of ihram then, nor was he accompanied by anyone in ihram who was not already in a state of ihram before the Hajj of Islam. Ibn Abbas mentioned the Prophet's ﷺ hijama in the year of the Hajj of Islam in the tenth year. The hadith of the hajjim and mahjum (cupper and the one who is cupped) fasting is from two years before the Hajj of Islam. If they are both proven, then the hadith of Ibn Abbas is abrogating, and the hadith of the hajjim and mahjum is abrogated. Al-Shafi'i said: The chain of narration for both hadiths combined is dubious, and the hadith of Ibn Abbas is the most similar to them in terms of chain of narration. If a person refrains from hijama, it is more preferable to me as a precautionary measure so that his fasting is not compromised and weakened, and in case he is cupped, the hijama should not break his fast. Along with the hadith of Ibn Abbas, there is the analogy that I memorized from some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the tabi'in and most of the people of Madinah, which is that no one's fast is broken by hijama.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ احْتَجَمَ مُحْرِمًا صَائِمًا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَسَمَاعُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُحْرِمًا وَلَمْ يَصْحَبْهُ مُحْرِمًا قَبْلَ حَجَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَذِكْرُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حِجَامَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ سَنَةَ عَشْرٍ وَحَدِيثُ أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ قَبْلَ حَجَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ كَانَا ثَابِتَينِ فَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ نَاسِخٌ وَحَدِيثُ أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ مَنْسُوخٌ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَإِسْنَادُ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ مَعًا مُشْتَبَهٌ وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَمْثَلُهُمَا إِسْنَادًا فَإِنَ تَوَقَّى رَجُلٌ الْحِجَامَةَ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ احْتِيَاطًا وَلِئَلَّا يُعَرِّضَ صَوْمَهُ أَنْ يَضْعُفَ فَيُفْطِرَ فَإِنِ احْتَجَمَ فَلَا تُفْطِرُهُ الْحِجَامَةُ وَمَعَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِيَاسُ الَّذِي أَحْفَظُ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَعَامَّةِ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُفْطِرُ أَحَدٌ بِالْحِجَامَةِ
[Machine] That Ja'far ibn Abi Talib decided to get cupped while he was fasting. The Prophet ﷺ passed by him and said, "Did these two break their fast?" Then the Prophet ﷺ allowed cupping for the one who is fasting. Anas used to get cupped while he was fasting. Ali ibn Umar ad-Daraqutni said, "All of them are trustworthy and I do not know of any reason [to prohibit cupping while fasting]." The scholar said, "The hadith of Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri, with the wording of permission, indicates this. Indeed, the majority is that permission [for cupping] comes after the prohibition. Allah knows best."
أَنَّ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ احْتَجَمَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَمَرَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَفْطَرَ هَذَانِ ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْدُ فِي الْحِجَامَةِ لِلصَّائِمِ وَكَانَ أَنَسٌ يَحْتَجِمُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ كُلُّهُمْ ثِقَاتٌ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ لَهُ عِلَّةً قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ بِلَفْظِ التَّرْخِيصِ يَدُلُّ عَلَى هَذَا فَإِنَّ الْأَغْلَبَ أَنَّ التَّرْخِيصَ يَكُونُ بَعْدَ النَّهْيِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a man who was performing hijama (cupping) and he was lending money to someone. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Has the one performing hijama and the one having hijama done to him broken their fast?" His saying was in reference to the man lending money. I have not come across this except in this hadith, and others may add to it.
مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يَحْتَجِمُ عِنْدَ الْحَجَّامِ وَهُوَ يُقْرِضُ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ قَوْلُهُ يُقْرِضُ رَجُلًا لَمْ أَكْتُبْهُ إِلَّا فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَغَيْرُ يَزِيدَ
[Machine] About something he mentioned or something he heard.
عَنْ شَيْءٍ ذَكَرَهُ أَوْ شَيْءٍ سَمِعَهُ
[Machine] He used to perform Itikaf during the month of Ramadan at the time of breaking the fast.
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحْتَجِمُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ الْفِطْرِ
