1926. It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "A man asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about coitus interruptus. He said: 'Do you do that? If you do not do so, it will not harm; for there is no soul that Allāh has decreed will exist but it will come into being.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
Coitus interruptus is, when having intercourse, to withdraw the penis before emission of semen to avoid the risk of conception.
'If you do not do so, it will not harm'; it indicates that not doing coitus interruptus is better, but it is not forbidden strictly. Therefore, if woman is unable to bear the difficulty of pregnancy and childbirth due to sickness or weakness, then coitus interruptus may be practised.
