that he said:

“Healing for my community lies in three things: a drink of honey, an incision with a cupping lancet, or cauterization with fire. But I do not like to undergo cauterization.”

Treatment by cupping is permissible according to the mass-transmitted Sunnah and the agreement of the scholars.

He was asked:

A widow left on her own has a small amount of jewellery which she hires out, supporting herself with the rent. Is this lawful or not?

He answered:

Praise be to Allah, Lord of all worlds. This is permissible according to Abū Hanīfa, al-Shāfi'ī and other scholars. Mālik, Ahmad, Mālik’s followers and many of Ahmad’s followers considered it disliked. This, however, means that it is discouraged, not forbidden. This applies when the rent is of the same kind as the jewellery; if it is of a different kind, there is no objection.

Thus, if this woman hires out her jewellery and supports herself with the rent because she is in need, she should not be forbidden from doing so. However, she must pay zakat on it according to most scholars, including Abū Hanīfa, Mālik and Imam Ahmad.

This applies if she hires it out to a woman who adorns herself for her husband or master, or to someone who wears it to a permissible gathering, such as a wedding that one may lawfully attend. But if she hires it out to a woman who adorns herself with it for men who are not her mahrams, this is not permissible.
