question
Is there any objection to a man and woman having anal intercourse?
Concise answer

Since different jurists have different verdicts in this regard, you should act according to the fatwa (verdict) of the Mujtahid (jurist) whom you follow. For your information, we will now mention the verdicts of some of the religious authorities (jurists) as follows.

1) Some of the religious authorities[1] are of the view that anal intercourse is strongly abominable (makrooh).[2]

2) Some say[3]: “It is not permissible, as an obligatory precaution.”

3) Some others[4] are of the view that anal intercourse is not permissible, as an obligatory precaution, without wife’s consent. If she is consenting to it, it would be strongly abominable.[5]

For information about its physical harms and negative impacts, you should refer to medical science.
