Etiquettes of Intercourse with One’s Wife and the Islamic Ruling on Anal Intercourse

This excerpt is taken from the book "500 Questions and Answers for Women" based on the Fatwas of the Scholars of the Haramain, translated by Hafiz Abdullah Saleem.

❀ Question:​

Is it permissible for a man to engage in intercourse with his wife from the back (i.e., entering the front private part from behind), whether due to a valid excuse or without one?

❀ Answer:​

It is permissible for a husband to approach his wife from the back, provided that the intercourse takes place in the front private part (vaginal intercourse) and not in the anal passage.

However, it is never permissible under any circumstance for a man to have intercourse with his wife through the anal passage, as this is strictly forbidden.

This is based on the statement of Allah the Exalted:
«نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْ وَقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ مُلَاقُوهُ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» [2-البقرة:223]

"Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish, and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves. And fear Allah and know that you will meet Him. And give good tidings to the believers." [Al-Baqarah: 223]

Additionally, the Prophet ﷺ said:
«ملعون من أتي امرأته فى دبرها» [حسن۔ سنن أبى داود، رقم الحديث 2162]

"Accursed is the one who has intercourse with his wife in her anal passage."
—Authentic (Hasan), Sunan Abi Dawood, Hadith 2162
