The answer

Anal intercourse is forbidden and considered a grave sin (kabirah). It is not permissible for a wife to obey her husband if he desires it, for obedience is only in what is good (ma'ruf). As for a wife refusing her husband if he requests intercourse in the permissible place, this is not allowed except for a legitimate Shar'i excuse such as illness, menstruation, an obligatory fast, or harm that would befall her from intercourse. If a man's intercourse causes diseases, according to a doctor's report, then the wife may refuse. However, if it is merely a possibility or a delusion, then refusal is not permissible.
