´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah:` that the Prophet said: “Allah will not look at a man who has intercourse with his wife in her buttocks.”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Allah the Exalted has said:
﴿وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ ﴿5﴾ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ﴾ ()
“And those who guard their private parts, except from their wives or those whom their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed (in this regard).”
From this, some people have tried to prove that one may enjoy women however one wishes, whether it be the front or the back passage. However, this is not correct; rather, there is only one place permissible for intercourse, and even that is not permissible during the days of menstruation.
➋ “Allah will not look at him.”
This means He will not look at him with mercy, and on the Day of Resurrection, He will not forgive this crime of his. This demonstrates the prohibition of this act. In another hadith, a curse has also been mentioned upon the one who commits this act. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever has intercourse with his wife in her back passage is accursed.” (Sunan Abi Dawud, Book of Marriage, Chapter: Regarding Intercourse in Marriage, Hadith: 2162)

Hafiz Imran Ayyub Lahori
«وَلَا تُرْطَا حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ»
And nor is it permissible to have intercourse with her after the end of menstruation until she has performed the ritual bath (ghusl). 1
1. ➊ The statement of Allah, the Exalted, is: «وَيَسْتَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءِ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللهُ» [البقرة: 222]
“They ask you (O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) about menstruation. Say: It is a harm, so keep away from women during menstruation and do not approach them until they are purified. And when they have purified themselves (by performing the ritual bath), then go to them as Allah has commanded you.”
➋ It is narrated from Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: «ومن أتى حائضا أو امرأة فى دبرها أو كاهنا فقد كفر بما أنزل على محمد» “Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman, or has intercourse with a woman through her back passage, or goes to a soothsayer and believes in what he says, has indeed disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.”
[صحيح: صحيح ترمذي 116، كتاب الطهارة: باب ما جاء فى كراهية إتيان الحائض، ترمذي 135، أحمد 408/2، أبو داود 3904، ابن ماجة 639، دارمي 259/1]
➌ It is narrated from Anas bin Malik radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said regarding a menstruating woman: «اصنعوا كل شيئ إلا النكاح» “Do everything (with her) except intercourse (i.e., sexual intercourse).”
[مسلم 302، كتاب الحيض: باب جواز غسل الحائض رأس زوجها و ترحيله......، أحمد 132/3، دارمي 245/1، أبو داود 258، ترمذي 2977، نسائي 187/1، ابن ماجة 644، بيهقي 313/1، ابن حبان 1352، أبو عوانة 311/1]
➍ There is consensus (ijma‘) that intercourse with a menstruating woman is forbidden (haram). [نيل الأوطار 404/1]
(Shaykh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Aal Shaykh) He has issued a fatwa accordingly. [فتاوى المرأة المسلمة 280/1]

Commentary:
(1)
The actions prohibited in this hadith are all unlawful (haram).
(2)
Those who commit these acts have been declared as disbelievers (kuffar) with respect to Islamic law.
This means that these are the actions of disbelievers, and Muslims must completely abstain from such acts.
(3)
Allah has prescribed a natural way of intimacy with a woman, as a result of which offspring are produced.
The passage of excretion (dubr)
was not created for this purpose; it is an unnatural method, and in it there is resemblance to the immoral people of the nation of Prophet Lut (alayhis salam).
(4)
Some people have tried to declare the unnatural act with women as permissible.
For this, they have argued from this verse:
﴿نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْ ۖ﴾ ()
"Your women are a tilth for you, so come to your tilth as you wish."
Their argument is not correct because:
(a)
The woman has been likened to a tilth (field).
A field is only that place where, if a seed is sown, it grows; the passage of excretion is not suitable for this.
Procreation is only related to the front passage.
(b)
Even in the days of menstruation, abstention from the front passage has been commanded, and the reason stated is that it is impurity (najasah).
The other passage is only for impurity; how can it be lawful?
(c)
If the translation of ﴿أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْ ۖ﴾ is taken as "from wherever you wish," even then it means that if a person approaches from behind but enters the front passage, it is permissible, just as direct entry from the front is permissible, as clarified in the hadith. See: (Sahih Muslim, Book of Marriage, Chapter: The permissibility of intercourse with one's wife in her vagina, from the front or from behind, without approaching the anus, Hadith: 1435)
5.
A kahin is a person who claims to know the unseen or tells about the future.
Those among us who claim to tell fortunes by the names of astrology (nujum), sand divination (raml), or numerology (jafr), all fall under this warning.
Even if something they say turns out to be true, one should not trust such people; in fact, merely going to them to ask something is a sin, even if one does not believe what they say.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
Whoever goes to a kahin and asks him anything, his prayer is not accepted for forty days. (Sahih Muslim, Book of Peace, Chapter: The prohibition of soothsaying and visiting soothsayers, Hadith: 2230)
