Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

I know doing sex in anus is haraam. I want to know if husband and wife both wants through anus then it is haram? For example, husband and wife dont want to have a child and they prefer to have sex in anus, then it is also haraam? what is wrong in doing that when they dont want a child and like to have sex. p

Answer:

Anal sex

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3192 Narrated by Khuzaymah ibn Thabit

The Prophet (saws) said, "Allah is not ashamed of the Truth! Do not have intercourse with women through the anus."

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3195 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas

Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "Allah will not look at a man who has intercourse with a man or a woman through the anus."

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 2157 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

The Prophet (saws) said: ‘He who has intercourse with his wife through her anus is accursed.’

Allah and His Messenger (saws) have specified as absolutely unlawful for a believer who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day to enjoy conjugal relations with his wife during her menses and through her anus.

The abominable and repulsive act of anal sex is unnatural, unhealthy, unhygienic, unclean and impure; and this abomination of an act is not found even in any of the lower animate creations!

Dear and beloved brother in Islam, absolutely regardless of whether or not both parties consent, absolutely regardless of whatever reasons one might have……it is absolutely and categorically unlawful, prohibited, ‘haraam’, and a grave sin in Shariah for one to have intercourse with their wives through her ‘anus’…..so much so that the Messenger of Allah (saws) declared that one who enters their wife through her ‘anus’ has absolutely nothing to do with what has been sent down to Muhammad (saws)!!!!

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 3895 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

The Prophet (saws) said: ‘If anyone resorts to a diviner and believes in what he says or has intercourse with his wife when she is menstruating, or has intercourse with his wife through her anus: he has nothing to do with what has been sent down to Muhammad (saws)!’

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
