Q 5: When and how can we use coitus interruptus?

A: It was related by Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah on the authority of `Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade the practice of coitus interruptus with a free woman, except with her permission. It was compiled by `Abdul-Razzaq in his (Musanaf) in addition to Al-Bayhaqy on the authority of Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that he said: It is forbidden to practice coitus interruptus with a free woman except with her permission Therefore, this indicates the permissibility of practicing coitus interruptus with a free woman with her permission, and the prohibition of practicing it in case of her disapproval. On the other hand, practicing it with a slave-girl does not necessitate her permission, taking into consideration that practicing it should be limited to necessity or urgent need. The description of how it takes place is by removing the penis from the vagina to discharge (semen) (Part No. 19; Page No. 329) outside it. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
