Mosques are the most beloved places to Allah. Allah has commanded that they be elevated, that His name be mentioned therein, and that they be purified from defilement. Performing cupping in the mosque may defile it, hence scholars have prohibited it. It is also forbidden to expose one's awrah (private parts) in the mosque, due to His Almighty's saying: (Take your adornment at every Masjid), and the verse means covering the awrah. Therefore, it is not permissible to perform cupping in the mosque.
