Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is coitus interruptus permissible to delay having children due to financial inability?
Answer:
If it is for a valid purpose, there is nothing wrong with it. If coitus interruptus is for a valid purpose, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if it is out of aversion to offspring, that is not permissible. If it is for a valid purpose, there is nothing wrong with it, just as the Companions used to do it during jihad and in other circumstances. As for if they did so with slave women because they disliked having children among the slave women, if it is for a valid purpose, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is to flee from offspring and flee from bearing children, that is not permissible. Yes.
