What is meant by the coitus interruptus mentioned in this Hadith: "We went on a campaign with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to Al-Mustaliq, and we captured some noble Arab women. We were away from our wives for a long time, and we desired ransom. So we wanted to enjoy them and practice coitus interruptus. We said, 'Should we do it while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, is among us, without asking him?' So we asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said: 'There is no harm if you do not do so. For every soul that Allah has decreed to be created until the Day of Resurrection, it will surely come into being'"?

Summary of the : The Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions waged war against Banu Al-Mustaliq. They emerged victorious, acquired spoils of war, and took their women captive. They desired to have intercourse with the captives while practicing coitus interruptus (withdrawal) to avoid pregnancy, intending to ransom them later. So, they asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) about the ruling on coitus interruptus. He replied: "There is no harm if you do not do it, for there is no soul whose creation is decreed to exist until the Day of Resurrection but that it will come into being." This means there is no objection to coitus interruptus.
