Is Anal Sex Permissible In Islam?

𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵❓

I am married for the last one year, but I am having a problem with my wife. My wife wants me to have anal sex with her. She says that it’s fun and all her friends are doing it. But I really don’t know what should I do. Do you think I should try anal sex? What is the ruling on one who has anal intercourse with his wife? Please respond to my question.

𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️

Praise be to Allah.

Anal sex is totally prohibited in Islam. It is counted among the major sins. The vagina has been created for sexual gratification and not the anus.

There are many sahih ahadith which show that anal sex is haram in Islam, such as the following:

1 –Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The one who has intercourse with his wife in her back passage has disavowed himself of that which was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).” Narrated by Abu Dawud (3904); classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud.

2 – Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah will not look at a man who has intercourse with a woman in her back passage.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1165); classed as sahih by Ibn Daqiq al-‘Eid in al-Ilmam (2/660) and by al-Albani in Sahih al-Tirmidhi.

3 –Khuzaymah ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah is not too shy to tell the truth” three times. “Do not have intercourse with women in their back passages .” Narrated by Ibn Majah (1924); classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Ibn Majah.

In Sunan al-Tirmidhi (2980) in a report which he classed as hasan, it was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: ‘Umar came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I am doomed! He said: “Why are you doomed?” He said: I changed my direction last night. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not say anything. Then this verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):

نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّىٰ شِئْتُمْ ۖ

 “Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth when or how you will” [al-Baqarah 2:223]. So approach from the front or the back, but avoid the back passage and the time of menses. Classed as hasan by al-Albani in Sahih al-Tirmidhi.

It is permitted to have intercourse with your wife in the tilth, which is the place of birth, and not in the anus which is the place of filth. The place of tilth is what is referred to in the verse:

 فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ

 “then go in unto them as Allah has ordained for you”. [al-Baqarah 2:222].

Islam forbids anal sex and it leads to many health problems as mentioned by doctors in the past and in the present time. Therefore, it is not permissible for you to resort to anal sex in any case. The one who thinks that there is anything in the Quran and Sunnah to indicate that is mistaken.

And Allah knows best.
