Is anal intercourse permitted between husband and wife in Islam?

Anal intercourse is prohibited in Islamic law even between husband and wife. The existence of a valid marriage does not make every sexual practice permissible.

What Islam teaches

The prohibition is established in prophetic narrations, and the mainstream position of Islamic jurisprudence considers anal intercourse prohibited between spouses.

What you can consider

If a spouse requests this practice, the other spouse may decline it on Islamic grounds. Couples should seek guidance from a qualified scholar if there is disagreement or uncertainty.
