What is the expiation for anal intercourse with one's wife, and does divorce result from it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Penetrating one's wife in her anus is a grave abomination and a repulsive act; it is the "minor sodomy," and "cursed is he who penetrates his wife in her anus." The expiation for one who commits this act is sincere repentance to Allah and abundant seeking of forgiveness. As for the act being tantamout to divorce, that is incorrect.
