If a man asks his wife for anal intercourse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Several questions have been received regarding a woman whose husband demands or orders her to do forbidden things, such as pouring him intoxicants, or having intercourse with her in a manner other than for procreation, or other such matters, and he forces her to do so. Is divorce the solution?
Also, what is the action to take if the source of the husband's wealth is through a forbidden, unlegislated path, such as usury or other such matters? Should she leave him, or should she and her children live on the forbidden wealth?

The Shaykh : If she has a legal path, unfortunately, because the Shari'ah is not applied in many cases today, if she has a legal path that helps her file a lawsuit against her husband on the grounds that he orders her to disobey Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in many matters, as mentioned in the question, including that he earns his wealth from what is forbidden or from usury, and she is compelled by her life with him to eat this forbidden wealth, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Hell is more fitting for him whose flesh is nourished by what is unlawful. كل جسد نبت من السحت فالنار أولى به
Mishkat al-Masabih 2825Sahih (Al-Albani)
, then for that reason she fears for herself from the Fire, so she brings her case to the Shari'ah judge. If he accepts her complaint, and then this judge is able to take hold of that husband and urge him to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) regarding her, and not to order her to do anything that contradicts the Shari'ah, and not to feed her from his forbidden wealth, that is what we hope for. If, however, the judge in such a lawsuit is one who accepts her claim but is unable to meet her need, then she must hasten to seek separation from her husband, because it is not permissible for her to live on these forbidden things, which are darknesses, one upon another.
