What are the limits of a man having intercourse with his wife?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is there a limit or a rule regarding the manner in which a husband has intercourse with his wife, provided he does not engage in anal intercourse?

Answer : Allah the Exalted said:
Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wishنِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:223]
. So a person has the right to approach his wife wherever he wishes, but not through the anus, and not while she is menstruating or experiencing post-natal bleeding. If he fears Allah Mighty and Majestic in this matter, avoiding anal intercourse and avoiding having intercourse with her while she is menstruating or experiencing post-natal bleeding, then Allah says:
so come to your place of cultivation however you wishفَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:223]
