Is a woman required to offer a specific expiation for engaging in anal intercourse, especially since her husband has died and she has repented?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no expiation (kaffarah) for either the husband or the wife for engaging in anal intercourse. However, disciplinary action (ta'zir) is obligatory for committing a sin for which there is neither a prescribed punishment (hadd) nor an expiation. This sin is atoned for by sincere repentance (tawbah nasuh).
