Al-'Azl with female captives and slaves was an important topic for [[Muhammad]] and his [[Sahabah|companions]] as evidenced by the abundance of Hadith material on the subject. | ||

If that action had been haraam, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have forbidden it. But the scholars say that one should not engage in ‘azl with a free woman except with her permission, because she has the right to have children. Moreover, withdrawing without her permission diminishes her pleasure, because the woman’s pleasure can only be completed after ejaculation. So not asking her permission causes her to lose out on pleasure and on the possibility of having children. Hence we state the condition that this may only be done with her permission. | {{Quote|{{cite web quotebox|url= http://www.islamqa.info/en/ref/11885|title= ‘Azl (coitus interruptus) and using birth control pills|publisher= Islam Q&A |author= Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid|series= Fatwa No. 11885|date= |archiveurl= http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.islamqa.info%2Fen%2Fref%2F11885&date=2013-07-04|deadurl=no}}|With regard to ‘azl (coitus interruptus), or withdrawing during intercourse, the correct scholarly view is that there is nothing wrong with it, because of the hadeeth of Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him): “We used to practise ‘azl at the time when the Qur’aan was being revealed” – i.e., at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
