A husband's fondling of his menstruating wife's vagina is not permissible, because it is a place where impurity is likely to be encountered, and impurity is forbidden. Also, menstruation is a harmful state that must be avoided. No expiation is required for this act. As for anal intercourse with one's wife, it is absolutely forbidden. The one who commits it does not exit the fold of Islam, even if he is accursed. The intent of the hadiths that indicate the disbelief of the one who commits it is to emphasize the gravity of the sin. Whoever commits this act must offer sincere repentance. A person is punished for his intention to commit a forbidden act, even if he does not carry it out.
