The ruling on the hadith of 'azl is that it is hidden infanticide

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the hadith that
‘Azl is the hidden form of infanticideالعزل هو الوأد الخفي
is it an authentic hadith? Yes

Answer:
Yes, it is an authentic hadith, but it indicates dislike, not prohibition; it indicates dislike. If his intention is fear of scarcity of provision, it is like the ruling on the one who is buried alive. But if his intention is not of that nature, then it is disliked; only 'azl is disliked. However, if he does it out of fear of scarcity of provision, it is like the one who is buried alive, and this is forbidden, because this is a bad opinion of Allah the Exalted and a limitation of the offspring, which is deserving of being declared a disbeliever.
