´It was narrated from Muhammad bin Munkadir:` that he heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah say: “The Jews used to say that if a man has intercourse with a woman in her vagina from the back, the child would have a squint. Then Allah, Glorious is He, revealed: 'Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you will.' ”

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is permissible to adopt any method for intimacy, whether the woman is lying on her back, on her stomach, or on her side. However, it is necessary that only the way permitted by the Shari‘ah is adopted, that is, only the woman’s qubul (front private part) is to be used.
➋
The primary purpose of sexual relations with a woman is the attainment of offspring; this is why the woman has been likened to a field. The man, like a farmer, sows the seed in this land, from which he attains the blessing of children. This also proves that unnatural acts with a woman are not permissible, because throwing the seed outside the field, such as in a pond or elsewhere, is foolishness.
➌
Even if the meaning of ﴿أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْ﴾ is taken as “from wherever you wish,” it still does not establish the permissibility of unnatural acts. Because the command is given to approach only the (harth) “place of cultivation,” and not any other place, whether one comes directly from the front or from behind to the front.
➍
One should continue to refute the superstitions present in society and clarify the reality.
