Abstract
This study discusses how to solve the contradictory Hadiths on cupping. Literature study depicts that many hadiths have narrated cupping phenomenon, in which one hadith differs from another. However, the sanads’ quality of the hadiths are accepted as sahih/good chains of information. It can be seen on the hadith regarding the cupping of the fasting person and the cupper's wages. This study aims at finding out the moral message of these contradictory hadiths in order to find out how the implications of hijamah (cupping) are reflected in today's socio-cultural conditions. Furthermore, this paper tries to identify the cause of contradiction through the analysis of asbāb al-wurūd, and nāsikh wa mansūkh. The collected data are grouped thematically, and processed and analysed using descriptive and contextual analysis methods. This study finds that cupping is permissible for people who are fasting, in other words, cupping does not invalidate a person's fast. In addition, this study also finds out that there is no prohibition for someone to work as a cupping practitioner and take advantage of it.
