Is it permissible to use coitus interruptus to delay childbirth until the first child is weaned?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A female listener (M. M.), an Egyptian living in Ta'if, sent a message containing a collection of questions, one of which asks: Is it permissible for a husband and wife to use the method of coitus interruptus if they wish to delay childbirth until the first child is weaned?

Answer:
There is no blame in that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of coitus interruptus. However, coitus interruptus does not prevent what Allah wills regarding a child. The fluid may precede the act, and a man may be overcome by it. If Allah wills a child, the fluid may precede, even if it is only a little; and a child may result from it. But there is no blame in coitus interruptus. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: :
We used to practice coitus interruptus while the Qur'an was being revealed, and that was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but he did not forbid us.كنا نعزل والقرآن ينزل، فبلغ ذلك النبي ﷺ فلم ينهنا، عليه الصلاة والسلام
.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
