بَابُ فِي الرَّحْصَةِ فِي الْعَزْلِChapter: Concession in Coitus Interruptus
Hadith 7085
اُردوEn
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ لِي أَمَةً وَأَنَا أَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا وَأَنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ وَإِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تَزْعَمُ أَنَّهَا الْمَوْؤُودَةُ الصُّغْرَى قَالَ كَذَبَتْ يَهُودُ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ تَرُدَّهُ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that a man said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I have a slave woman, and I do not want her to become pregnant, so I practice coitus interruptus with her. The Jews think that this is a form of minor infanticide." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Jews lie. When Allah intends to create something, you do not have the power to prevent it."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … According to Hadith number (7078), the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself described withdrawal (azl) as a hidden form of burying alive, whereas in this hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is refuting the same notion held by the Jews.
Hafiz Ibn Qayyim rahimahullah has presented the following reconciliation and synthesis: The notion of the Jews that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam refuted refers to their belief that, in the case of withdrawal (azl), the possibility of conception cannot be imagined at all, and they considered it equivalent to cutting off lineage. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam declared their belief to be false and clarified that if Allah Ta'ala wills, conception can occur even despite withdrawal (azl). When Allah Ta'ala does not will its creation, then in reality, it will not be considered as burying alive. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself described it as a hidden form of burying alive because a person performs withdrawal (azl) to avoid conception; thus, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam considered this intention of his as equivalent to burying alive.
