Is it permissible to practice coitus interruptus with a wife who is neither accepted nor desired, given the wife's desire to conceive and the husband's desire for divorce?
It is not permissible to practice coitus interruptus without the wife's permission, for she has a right to children. Your fear of your children being deprived of their mother after divorce is misplaced, as the mother has more right to their custody as long as she does not remarry, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) statement to a woman: "You have more right to him as long as you do not remarry." We advise you not to rush into divorce as long as your wife is religious and of good character, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A believing man should not hate a believing woman. If he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another."
