Is a wife permitted to refuse her husband's request for anal intercourse, and is this considered forbidden (haram)? And how can a wife deal with her husband's insistence on this act, especially when he is influenced by pornographic websites?

Anal intercourse is forbidden by Islamic law and is considered a major sin, based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) sayings: "Accursed is he who has intercourse with a woman in her anus," and "Allah will not look at a man who has intercourse with a man or a woman in her anus."

Obeying the husband in this matter is not permissible, for there is no obedience to a creature in defiance of the Creator.

The claim that the Qur'an does not indicate its prohibition is incorrect; Islamic rulings are not limited to the Qur'an alone but are also derived from the Sunnah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned against rejecting his Sunnah under the pretext of sufficing with the Qur'an.

The Qur'an also indicates the prohibition in the verse: "Your women are a tilth for you, so approach your tilth however you wish" (Al-Baqarah: 223). The "tilth" refers to the vagina, not the anus.

Scholars have reached a consensus on the prohibition of anal intercourse with a woman due to the associated health, psychological, and religious harms. It causes worry and grief, darkens the face, removes modesty, leads to audacity, and brings forth resentment and curses from Allah.

It is not permissible for a Muslim to watch pornographic films, as they lead to deviation and Allah's wrath.

To reform the husband, he should be informed of the Islamic legal proofs, and he should be refused intercourse in the anus. Islamic books and tapes should be provided in the home, and the Friday preacher should be alerted to address these prohibitions. If these measures are ineffective, recourse can be sought through the Sharia court.
