Is anal sex permissible due to the lack of evidence of its prohibition in the Quran or authentic Hadith (Bukhari and Muslim)?
The claim that there is no evidence for the prohibition of anal intercourse is incorrect. Allah's saying: (Your women are a tilth for you, so approach your tilth from wherever you will) [Al-Baqarah:223] indicates the prohibition of anal intercourse. The 'tilth' (حرث) is the place of progeny (the vagina), and the anus is not. Approaching women in their vagina from any direction is permissible. The fact that menstruation is prohibited due to temporary harm makes the anus more deserving of prohibition due to the permanence of harm therein. Muslim, in his , alluded to the prohibition by stating: "Chapter: The permissibility of having intercourse with one's wife in her vagina from the front or from behind, without approaching the anus," and he narrated the tradition of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). Scholars have unanimously agreed on the prohibition of anal intercourse with a woman.
