Does Islam permit all sexual positions between married couples?

Not necessarily. Marriage permits lawful intimacy, but it does not remove all Islamic restrictions. The location and nature of intercourse remain relevant to the ruling.

What Islam teaches

The Qur'an provides guidance regarding marital intimacy, and Islamic jurisprudence distinguishes permissible sexual relations from prohibited acts.

What you can consider

Couples should learn the relevant Islamic principles and avoid practices that are clearly prohibited. A qualified scholar can clarify specific questions privately.

Qur'an 2:222-223; Sahih Muslim, Book of Marriage.
