📖 1 min readعن أبي سعيد الخدري، أن رجلًا قال: يا رسول الله، إن لي جارية وأنا أَعْزِلُ عنها وأنا أكره أن تحمل، وأنا أريد ما يريد الرجال، وإن اليهود تحدث أن العَزْلَ المَوْؤُودَةُ الصغرى قال: «كَذَبَتْ يَهُودُ لو أراد الله أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَصْرِفَهُ».
This Hadīth refutes the Jewish claim that pregnancy is impossible with coitus interruptus in the sense that it is like the termination of procreation through infanticide. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asserts that this a lie. He says that pregnancy, despite coitus interruptus, is possible. In this case, if Allah wants to create, He will, and vice versa. So coitus interruptus is not really infanticide. Therefore, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) allowed the Companion to do it and refuted the claim of the Jews.
