Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A companion asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about ‘azl (withdrawal), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do you do that? If you do not do it, there is no harm, but whichever soul Allah has decreed to be created, it will surely be created, whether you practice ‘azl or not.”

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We asked, "O Messenger of Allah! A man has a slave woman, he has intercourse with her and does not want her to become pregnant. Can he practice coitus interruptus (withdrawal) with her?" Similarly, a man has a wife who is breastfeeding, the man has intercourse with her and does not want her to become pregnant. In such a case, can he practice coitus interruptus with his wife?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no harm if you do not practice coitus interruptus; this is a matter of destiny." Ibn ‘Awn said: I narrated this tradition to Hasan, and he said: By Allah, in this sentence ( «لا عليكم» ), there is a warning against practicing coitus interruptus; in it, there is a rebuke and prohibition from coitus interruptus.
