The answer

There is no similarity between mut'ah marriage and azl (coitus interruptus). Mut'ah marriage involves specifying a time limit for the contract, whereas azl does not carry this meaning. The occurrence of the words "azl" and "istimta'" (enjoyment, referring to mut'ah) in a single does not imply that their rulings are the same. Scholars have reconciled the hadiths regarding the prohibition and permissibility of azl, interpreting the former as indicating a dislike (karahat tanzeeh) and the latter as meaning it is not forbidden.
