Anal sex

Q: Me and my wife engaged in anal sex. What does Islam say about it? Is it permissible in Islam?

A: Anal sex is haraam in Islam. Severe admonitions and warnings have been sounded in the Mubarak Ahaadith of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) for the one who perpetrates such detestable sins. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said "The one who has relations with his wife whilst she is in the state of haidh or has relations with her from the anal passage or he goes to a sorcerer then he has certainly shown gross ingratitude to that which has been revealed upon Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). In another Hadith Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said that the one who has relations with his wife from the anal passage, Allah Ta'ala will not look at him with the sight of mercy.

Sincerely repent to Allah Ta'ala for this grave sin you have committed and make a firm resolve that you will not repeat it in the future.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : من أتى حائضا أو امرأة في دبرها أو كاهنا فقد كفر بما أنزل على محمد (جامع الترمذي # 135)

عن عبد الله بن شداد الأعرج عن رجل عنه أن رسول الله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نهى أن يأتي الرجل امرأته في دبرها (اطراف المسند المعتلي باطراف المسند # 2315)

عن عبد الرزاق عن معمر وعن وكيع عن سفيان وعن عفان عن وهيب ثلاثتهم عن سهيل بن أبي صالح عن حارث بن مخلد عن أبي هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عله وسلم قال إن الذي يأتي امرأته في دبرها لا ينظر الله إليه (اطراف المسند المعتلي باطراف المسند # 9019)
