What is the ruling on anal intercourse?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, is it permissible for a man to have intercourse with his wife in her anus?
The Shaykh : No. Having intercourse with a woman in her anus is forbidden. A warning of cursing has been reported regarding this, and may Allah protect us from it. Whoever makes a habit of it must be separated from his wife, because he has defied the command of Allah. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:223] Where is the place of sowing? The front or the back? The front.
Second: Allah has forbidden intercourse with a menstruating woman and stated that it is a harm. Which is more heinous: for a man to have intercourse with a menstruating woman in her vagina, or for him to have intercourse with a woman in her anus? The latter is more heinous. Therefore, if intercourse during menstruation is forbidden, then intercourse in the anus is even more so. Accordingly, if it is known that a man practices this, he must be forcibly separated from his wife. The judge annuls the marriage, and the woman may marry whomever she wishes. It is forbidden for the wife to allow her husband to do this, meaning to have anal intercourse, because it is forbidden. Allowing what is forbidden is forbidden, because it is cooperation in sin and transgression. Yes.
