The Ruling on Coitus Interruptus Without the Wife's Permission

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on coitus interruptus without the wife's permission?

The Shaykh:
Coitus interruptus is permissible, but the jurists say that if it is with a free woman, he must seek her permission because she has a right to bear children. If it is with a slave woman, he does not need to seek her permission.

The questioner:
Honorable.

The Shaykh:
The apparent meaning of the hadith you heard is that there is no harm in doing it with a free woman or a slave woman. Yes.

The questioner:
If the husband continues with coitus interruptus, is this grounds for annulment?

The Shaykh:
If she wants to have children and he persists in doing it, she may ask for a divorce or seek a judicial separation from him, because she needs to have children.
