The answer

The statement within the brackets is the verse: ﴿Your wives are a place of cultivation for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish﴾ (Al-Baqarah: 223), or the statement of the that Abu Hanifa stipulated for the punishment of fornication that it must occur in the vagina. He who has anal intercourse with a foreign woman is subject to discretionary punishment (ta'zir) and not the prescribed punishment (hadd). Ta'zir is a punishment for a transgression for which there is no prescribed punishment (hadd), no retribution (qisas), and no blood money (diyah), such as anal intercourse with one's wife or intercourse during menstruation. As for anal intercourse with one's wife, it is not permissible for Jews or Christians because the law of Islam abrogates all previous laws, and their scriptures have been distorted.
