Is a husband's anal intercourse with his wife considered like committing adultery with another woman?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Coming to one's wife in her anus is forbidden by Islamic law, and the one who does it is cursed; Allah Almighty will not look at him. However, it does not reach the level of zina (fornication/adultery), which is a woman having sexual relations with a foreign man."
