حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، وَعَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم احْتَجَمَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ وَجَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي الْحِجَامَةِ لِلْمُحْرِمِ وَقَالُوا لاَ يَحْلِقُ شَعَرًا . وَقَالَ مَالِكٌ لاَ يَحْتَجِمُ الْمُحْرِمُ إِلاَّ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ . وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَحْتَجِمَ الْمُحْرِمُ وَلاَ يَنْزِعُ شَعَرًا .

Qutaybah narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Amr ibn Dinar, from Tawus and Ata, from Ibn Abbas, that the Prophet underwent cupping while in ihram.
There are reports on this topic from Anas, Abd Allah ibn Buhaynah, and Jabir. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ibn Abbas is hasan sahih. Some scholars permitted cupping for a person in ihram, provided no hair was removed. Malik said that a person in ihram should undergo cupping only in case of necessity. Sufyan al-Thawri and al-Shafi'i said there is no harm in cupping, as long as no hair is removed.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The legal discussion distinguishes cupping from removing hair while in ihram.
