Is it permissible to engage in anal intercourse due to the absence of a text in the Gospel prohibiting it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Intercourse in the front from behind is permissible, based on the Almighty's saying: "Your women are a tilth for you, so approach your tilth however you wish." However, anal intercourse is forbidden, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman, or a woman in her anus, or a soothsayer, has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him)." Islam has abrogated whatever contradicts Islamic in other heavenly scriptures, and Islam is the religion accepted by Allah.
