I have a 110mm male stub sticking up through my slab from the rest bend under the slab (currently covered with a femal blanking cap). I need to connect the soil stack to this.

Is it OK to use a female/femal push-fit double socket (e.g. https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-push-fit-double-socket-pipe-coupler-black-110mm/47977) at the bottom of the stack? Just a little concerned about the stack contents falling the height of the house, hitting the male end with some force and escaping the rubber seal...but can't see another way of doing it?

(soil stack on the left - the other 2 are for sink & toilet which I guess will also have to be female/female connectors)

I don't understand what is being asked here. Are you asking if the force of the waste will squeeze itself between the pipe and the fitting then down to the rubber?! Ive forgot how neurotic you can be when doing a project. You get paralysed by decisions and worries like this. It won't be a problem.

If you study a female - female coupling when mated to the respective pipes, there is literally nothing for "passing material" to hit on it's way past.

As long as the pipe is fully home. I've seen miscuts used that should have been done again.

The risk is when  the plummeting solids hit the bend at the bottom, forcing it downwards. But if that is properly bedded, again no issue.

It's good to understand the products  and to seek reassurance where necessary.

To me the photos look like you already have a "double female" connector in place on each soil stub coming up. You can see there's a little internal stop that the pipe inserts as far as. In your case, more importantly it stops the connector slipping down.

Each appears to then be capped with one of these. These can be simple removed by getting a flat blade screwdriver under the lip and levering up. As an aside I always use a silicone spray or smear of silicone/plumbers grease when assembling this stuff:
