Reconciling the Permissibility of Coitus Interruptus with the Issue of Birth Control

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, how do we reconcile the issue of coitus interruptus and its permissibility in the Shari'ah with the issue of birth control, where someone might say that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to practice it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not disapprove of it?

The Shaykh:
The Companions did not engage in birth control. This idea of birth control did not occur to them. Rather, it was brought by the disbelievers. The Companions are exalted above this idea. But they did it for another need, not for the purpose of birth control. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged them to have many children. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, how is zakah paid on stocks?

The Shaykh:
If a man’s intention in coitus interruptus is birth control and fleeing from having children, this is not permissible. Yes.
