Is this permissible in Islam?.<\/p>","answer":"<div class=\"list-group-item-text ftwa-single-answer font-nrmal\"><span class=\"line_height\"> Praise be to Allaah.\r\n<p>Firstly:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>The fuqaha&rsquo;      are agreed that it is haraam to have intercourse with a menstruating woman      in her vagina, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><em>&ldquo;keep      away from women during menses and go not unto them till they are purified      (from menses and have taken a bath).&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em> [al-Baqarah 2:222]<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>And the      Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Do      everything except intercourse.&rdquo; Narrated by Muslim (455). Al-Nawawi narrated      that there was consensus on this point.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Secondly:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>It is haraam      to have intercourse with a woman in her back passage, because Allaah says      (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><em>&ldquo;And when      they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allaah has ordained      for you (go in unto them in any manner as long as it is in their vagina)&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em> [al-Baqarah 2:222] <\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>i.e., in the      front passage, which is the place of tilth. This is confirmed by the verse      in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><em>&ldquo;Your      wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you will&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em> [al-Baqarah 2:223]<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>The back      passage is not the place of tilth.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>There are      ahaadeeth which indicate that it is haraam to have intercourse with a woman      in her back passage. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be      pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of      Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Cursed be the one who has intercourse with his      wife in her back passage.&rdquo; Narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawood (2162); classed      as hasan by al-Albaani in <em>Saheeh Abi Dawood<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>See also      question no. <a href=\"http:\/\/islamqa.info\/en\/1103\">1103<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Thirdly:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>The scholars      have stated that it is permissible to enjoy that which is between a woman&rsquo;s      thighs and between the buttocks, without penetrating the back passage.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Imam      al-Shaafa&rsquo;i said in <em>al-Umm<\/em> (8\/257):&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>With regard      to enjoying what is between the buttocks without penetrating, there is      nothing wrong with that. End quote.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Ibn Qudaamah      said in <em>al-Mughni<\/em> (7\/226):&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>There is      nothing wrong with enjoying that which is between the buttocks without      penetrating, because the Sunnah forbids the back passage, and applies only      to that. And it is haraam because it is harmful, and that applies only to      the back passage, so the prohibition applies only to that. End quote.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>It says in     <em>Rawd al-Taalib<\/em>:<\/p>\r\n<p>What the      husband is allowed to enjoy of his wife:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>He may enjoy      everything except her anal sphincter, even that which is between the      buttocks. As for enjoying the anal sphincter it is haraam to have      intercourse there, because of the report which says: &ldquo;Allaah is not too shy      to tell the truth; do not have intercourse with women in their back      passages.&rdquo; Narrated and classed as saheeh by al-Shaafa&rsquo;i. End quote.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>It says in     <em>Asna al-Mataalib<\/em> (3\/185):&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>The words      &ldquo;As for having intercourse in her anal sphincter&hellip;&rdquo; &ndash; such as if part of the      tip of the penis disappears into it. End quote.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Based on      this, there is nothing wrong with what was asked about, subject to the      condition that there be no risk of the tip of the penis or part of it      entering the back passage, for that is haraam.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>And Allaah      knows best.<\/p>\r\n<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 3px; padding-right: 6px; text-align: right;\">Islam Q&amp;A<\/div>","status":1,"created_at":"2015-04-17T20:52:00.000000Z","updated_at":"2015-04-17T20:52:00.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":44,"parent_id":11863,"author_id":"","books":[],"articles":[],"videos":[],"audios":[],"author_name":"","category_name":"\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0634\u0631\u0629 \u0628\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0648\u062c\u064a\u0646","category_slug":"","get_date":"2015-04-17"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/11864"}
