English translation

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)

Arabic text

1926 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ، فَقَالَ: «أَوَتَفْعَلُونَ؟ لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا، فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَسَمَةٍ قَضَى اللَّهُ لَهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ، إِلَّا هِيَ كَائِنَةٌ»

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.
