According to the author, the most important reason for the permissibility of withdrawal is the principle of permissibility and the permissibility of omitting intercourse and the permissibility of conditioning withdrawal, and the most important reason for the prohibition of withdrawal, besides the claimed consensus and narrations, is its opposition to the main wisdom of marriage, namely childbearing. The author in parts of the book has also reviewed the consequences of sterilization and preventing pregnancy.

The author in final summary expresses that one cannot present a general and universal rule in the issue of sterilization for every time and place. This ruling similar to harm varies according to conditions and characteristics. In cases where opposition to sterilization causes harm to society, its permissibility is doubtful. In cases where opposition to sterilization causes strengthening Islamic society against disbelief, its ruling is permissibility in broader sense. Also, initial conflict among some narrations and fatwas is answerable, because Islamic society needs more people. Of course, detecting this in societies where Islamic system is established, is governmental affairs and in the competence of the guardian jurist and governmental position holders. In societies where Islamic system is not established, detecting this will be the responsibility of religious rational people or individuals themselves (p. 101).
