The answer

All praise is due to Allah.

It is permissible for spouses to enjoy each other's bodies, to look and touch, based on the Almighty’s saying: (They are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them). As for foreplay with the anus, it is of two types: external touching, which is not forbidden, though disliked; and inserting a finger, which is forbidden for several reasons:

1- Because it is a place of severe impurity. 2- It can lead to forbidden anal intercourse. 3- Sound human nature recoils from it. 4- It may lead to something more abominable. 5- What Allah has legislated for intimacy between spouses is sufficient and makes anything else unnecessary.

A Muslim should fear Allah and avoid forbidden things and their causes, for Allah knows the treachery of the eyes and what the hearts conceal.
