The answer

It is permissible to have intercourse in any position, as long as menstruation and the anus are avoided, 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," and the of Ibn Abbas: "Approach from the front or the back, but avoid menstruation and the anus."

If specialists (doctors) prove that a certain position is harmful, then this must be taken into consideration, because specialists are consulted for every field. The noble verse was revealed for a specific reason, and its general meaning can be qualified by what experience has proven to be harmful.
