Sunan Ibn Majah 2011 (Book 9, Hadith 167) #31363
Coitus Interruptus and Burying Children Alive

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked about coitus interruptus and he said that it is a disguised form of burying children alive.

It was narrated that Judamah bint Wahb Al-Asadiyyah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'I wanted to forbid intercourse with a nursing mother, but then (I saw that) the Persians and the Romans do this, and it does not kill their children'. And I heard him say/when he was asked about coitus interruptus: 'It is the disguised form of buryirg children alive".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ الأَسَدِيَّةِ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَنِ الْغِيَالِ فَإِذَا فَارِسُ وَالرُّومُ يُغِيلُونَ فَلاَ يَقْتُلُونَ أَوْلاَدَهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ هُوَ الْوَأْدُ الْخَفِيُّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's opinion on coitus interruptus. He said that it is a disguised form of burying children alive. This means that when people practice coitus interruptus, they are essentially killing their unborn child without knowing it. The Prophet also mentioned that the Persians and Romans do this but it does not kill their children. This could mean that either these two cultures have found ways to prevent this from happening or they have found ways to make sure the child survives despite being born prematurely due to coitus interruptus. Either way, this hadith teaches us to be careful with our actions as we may not know what consequences they will bring in the future. We should also be aware of other cultures' practices so we can learn from them and use them for our own benefit if possible.
