Is it permissible to have anal intercourse with one's wife, based on her desire, under the pretext that she does not feel pleasure except from that position?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the penetration is from the woman's rear into her anus, then it is forbidden and a major sin, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Cursed is he who has intercourse with a woman in her anus." However, if the penetration is from her rear into her front (vagina), there is no harm in that, for Allah Almighty said: "Your women are a tilth for you, so approach your tilth from wherever you please."
