Note 1
(1) The statement: "Due to weakness" – In ‘Al-‘Alamgiriyyah’: "There is no harm in cupping if one is safe from weakness. However, if one fears weakness, it is disliked, and it is better to delay it until sunset. The scholar Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned that the condition for dislike is weakness that necessitates breaking the fast. Phlebotomy is similar to cupping. This is mentioned in ‘Al-Muhit’."

(۱) قوله: من أجل الضعف وفي العالمكيرية»: ولا بأس بالحجامة إن أمن على نفسه الضعف أما إذا خاف فإنه يكره، وينبغي له أن يؤخر إلى وقت الغروب، وذكر شيخ الإسلام شرط الكراهة ضعف يحتاج فيه إلى الفطر، والفصد نظير الحجامة، هكذا في المحيط».
