I would like to know that whilst a person is fasting in the month of Ramadan, does having Hijamah break the fast of the person adminisrating Hijamah and the person having Hijamah done? I mean both persons?

Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Cupping (hijāmah) does not break the fast of the fasting person nor of the one administering it. However, it is makrūh (disliked) for a person to have cupping done on himself if he fears that this will weaken him in his fast. If there is no such fear, then it will not be makrūh.
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
