MARRIAGE |
19. It is Preferable not to Practice Coitus Interruptus
First: It is harmful for the woman, since it reduces her pleasure by cutting it short. If she agrees to it, it still contains the following negative points. Second: It negates part of the purpose of marriage which is enlarging the Muslim nation through offspring, as in the statement of the Prophet :
"Marry the loving and fertile, for I will compete with the other Prophets
with the number of my followers." [Abu Dawood, an-Nasaa'ee and others:
Saheeh]. This is why the Prophet once
referred to it as "minor infanticide" (and not because it is forbidden
as infanticide is forbidden) when asked about it saying: "That is minor
infanticide". [Muslim, Ahmad and al-Baihaqi]. For this was preferable
in the hadith narrated by Abu Sa'eed al-Khudhriy  saying:
"Coitus Interruptus was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet and
he said: "Why would one of you do that? (note he did not say "let
none of you do that") Allah is the Creator of every single soul."
[Muslim]. In another version, he said:
"You act and you act. There are no people destined to be from now until
the day of Qiyama but that all of them will be." [Muslim]
