Narrated by Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Ali ibn Ya'qub al-Hashimi, from Marwan ibn Muslim, from Abdul-A'la, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام: I asked Imam عليه السلام about cupping - does it require ablution? Imam عليه السلام said: “No, and he does not need to wash the area because the cupper is entrusted, provided he cleans it properly and is not a young boy.”
