What is the ruling on coitus interruptus in Islam, and what is the ruling on taking contraceptive pills, and what is the purpose of coitus interruptus?

The Shaykh : What is the ruling on coitus interruptus in Islam, and what is the ruling on taking contraceptive pills, and what is the purpose of coitus interruptus?
Before answering these three questions, I want to draw your attention to the fact that the questioner wrote a question mark with each question, using the European style, which is written from left to right! The correct way when writing in Arabic is to start from right to left, not like that. So the question mark starts from here to there, not the other way around. This is one of the etiquettes of writing in Islam. What led us to start from left to right is our habit of writing in European languages. I think some might say, "What is this strictness, O Messenger of Allah?" Since you disapprove of strictness in the permissibility of wiping over socks and the conditions they set for it, we say there is no strictness because it is a single operation. You want to write a question mark, so instead of starting the way the disbelievers do, from left to right, start from right to left. The price is the same, the cost is the same, and the result is the same, so there is no strictness; it is merely guidance. This is a reminder, and there are other examples of this, and there is no harm in mentioning some of them as a reminder. For example, in the middle of a line or within the lines, there is a phrase that the author or reader emphasizes, and they place a horizontal line underneath it. This is an Islamic error; it should be placed above. Do you understand this style? The horizontal line found in many difficult books in some phrases should be placed above the phrase, not below it. Placing the line below the phrase is a foreign method, while placing the line above the phrase is a Salafi, hadith-based method. The scholars of hadith are the ones who place this mark, but previously they placed something resembling a line like this, then a line upward, then a long line like this. These are etiquettes we must pay attention to. Now we return to answering the question.
The ruling on coitus interruptus in Islam varies depending on the person practicing it. The details of this are not the subject of this discussion because these questions are numerous. However, if coitus interruptus is for a legitimate religious excuse or reason, it is permissible. If it is for a non-religious reason, it is not permissible. I want to speak briefly now about the latter type, which is when the motive for coitus interruptus is a non-religious reason, namely the fear of poverty. A man among the people has a salary of two hundred papers. He has a first child, a second child, and a third child, and the salary remains the same! He thinks in the European, Western way, which does not believe in the decree and destiny of Allah, His mercy, and His management of His creation. He calculates and, as they say, mixes things up. What if he has two or three children and the salary remains the same? Tomorrow he will have five or six. Where will he get the means to provide for them? This is, of course, a thought that circulates in the minds of many who are called Muslims, and a large portion of them may be geographical Muslims. It must be known by those among them who wish to know that this thinking should not even be entertained, let alone occur to the mind of a Muslim at all, as long as he believes in the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: , and as long as he believes in . The Muslim who believes in these divine realities never thinks about what children will come to him or what is hidden for him in the unseen regarding salary or inheritance. And it is strange... we return to completing the previous discussion. The Muslim who believes in these religious realities, as we mentioned, should not be driven by the motive of the pre-Islamic creed that does not believe in the decree and destiny of Allah. One of the effects of that creed was what Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, mentioned in the Noble Qur'an regarding the killing of girls by the polytheists. So the promise of Allah comes to the heart of the Muslim when he says in the Noble Verse: . Therefore, the one who practices coitus interruptus with this intention is doing the work of the first pre-Islamic age, but with a slight difference. That pre-Islamic person was not helped by the civilization of that era to practice organized, regulated coitus interruptus. So he would satisfy his desire, and his wife would go away pregnant, and he would eventually be forced to kill the child out of fear of poverty. But today, due to the means that science has facilitated—and science often facilitates means that are not in the interest of man but are among his harms, and this matter does not need explanation—among these are, for example, the means taken by prostitutes to ensure they are not affected by the contagious disease syphilis. This, of course, if not for this science, they claim, would not have led to the spread of fornication among women due to such encouragement by protecting them from contagious diseases. Also, means have emerged today that achieve coitus interruptus for the person, and it is like an automatic, guaranteed method, often one hundred percent. So we must look at what drove this Muslim to coitus interruptus. If it is the cause of fear of poverty, he is associated with the polytheists who did not believe in the decree of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and His destiny. And it is strange that, due to their distance from what concerns them in matters of knowledge, you find the poor man with the limited salary, yet Allah provides him with child after child, and the salary remains the same, but the children are living because Allah took charge of their provision, as He said: , in verification of this Noble Verse. Then some people may suppose, "My brother, if their father dies, who will support them? Who has to raise them?" They forget or ignore, and I think many of them forget and are ignorant, that the great inventors and great scholars were originally poor! Some of them may have been orphans, and some may have been slaves, lowly slaves, yet they became great scholars afterward. People forget these facts, which are real, cosmic realities. Then they resort to means that do not benefit them, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated in a sound hadith. A man came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)—and this is the answer to a question about a legitimate religious reason for the permissibility of coitus interruptus. The man came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I have a female slave, and this is, of course, one he has intercourse with, and he does not want her to become pregnant from him. Is it permissible for him to practice coitus interruptus with her?" He said: or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. This is the meaning of the hadith. The man came after a period of time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my female slave has become pregnant." He said to him, "Did I not tell you? That what is decreed will happen." The man was overcome by his affair, so the water preceded him, and she went away pregnant from him! So destiny is the dominant factor. And even some of the means, as I mentioned earlier, some of the medical, scientific means today, in common expression... do not succeed. Why? Because the decree of Allah prevails over people, over their tricks and their material means. In conclusion, coitus interruptus is permissible if the motive for it is religious, like the previous reason, which is a female slave one does not want to become pregnant from, because if she gives him a child, he may be forced to sell her, and she becomes... and he has a child from her. And there are other reasons one does not want her to become pregnant from, like this child. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the Companions to do such things...

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : No, if there is an opinion from a Muslim doctor that pregnancy will harm her, this is considered a legitimate religious excuse.
What is the ruling on taking contraceptive pills? This question is linked to the previous question, and the answer is taken from it.
What is the purpose of coitus interruptus? Likewise.

The questioner : Coitus interruptus in the pre-Islamic age means...

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
