What are the best positions for a husband to have intercourse with his wife in the Prophetic Sunnah?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Sharia did not specify a particular manner for marital intimacy with one's wife. Rather, it specified its location to be in the vagina (qubul), not the anus (dubur). It is permissible to choose any position for intimacy within the location made lawful by Sharia, based on the Almighty's saying: "Your wives are a place of cultivation for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish."
