•══༻ 🤲🤲Q. Is Anal Sex allowed in Islam?
NO. Anal sex is not only disallowed in Islam, it is indeed considered one of the most reprehensible acts in Islam. This is not a simple case of being Makruh but there are very clear instructions against it. For example, in one hadith Prophet Muhammad (saw) has mentioned that one who has anal sex with his spouse has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad. 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) (Abu Dawood : 3895). Now these are very harsh words, basically this is saying that one who has engaged in anal sex has done kufr! Similarly, in another hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah will not look at a man who has anal sex with his wife (At-Tirmidhi : 1165). Again, this doesn’t need any explanation that if Allah will not look at someone on that tough day of judgement the length of which could be more than a thousand years, what would be the fate of that unfortunate person! May Allah safeguard us all, Ameen.
There is something that needs to be addressed at this point which unfortunately causes confusion in the minds of some young people. Now whether this confusion is the deliberately spread by few who have deviated from the right path or whether it is really misunderstanding on some people’s part, only Allah knows best. The ayah below is misquoted as a case for permission of anal sex:
Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so approach your place of cultivation however you wish (Quran – 2:223)
Now some people take this ayah in its literal form and try to argue that both vaginal, as well as anal sex, are being made permissible by this ayah. However, this is a grave mistake since the context in which this ayah was revealed is the source of understanding its true meaning. Before the Hijrah of Prophet Muhammad (saw) to Madinah, the tribes in Madinah used to hold Jews of Madinah in high esteem as they were the only people of Book amongst them. Despite the fact that many tribes were not Jewish however their customs and traditions had borrowed a lot from Jewish traditions and customs. One very interesting example is the sex position that was considered permissible amongst Jews was what is commonly today known as missionary position. Basically, this means women lies on her back while the man mounts her from top. Interestingly this is considered the best position for sex by today’s medical standards when you are trying to actually conceive. So, because of the influence of Jews, most of Ansar men/women in Madinah would only establish marital relations in missionary position as other sex positions had negative notations attached to them. There was a prevalent belief that if you had sex from behind (again this still means Vaginal intercourse but behind means the position of husband behind his wife), the offspring born would be cross-eyed! However, things took an interesting turn when Muhajireen of Makkah married women of Ansar. It is believed that men/women of Makkah didn’t have such hang-ups about mating positions. So, when a particular Sahaba (ra) tried to approach his wife from behind and not in the customary position of missionary position, that woman refused to comply. The woman said that I will not allow you to do it until Prophet of Allah (saw) has cleared the situation. She went to Umm Salamah and told her the story. Umm Salamah (ra) said, “Wait until Allah’s Messenger comes”. When Allah’s Messenger came, the Ansari woman was shy to ask him about this matter, so she left. Umm Salamah told Allah’s Messenger the story and he said: “Summon the Ansari woman”. She was summoned and he Muhammad (saw) recited the above quoted Ayah to her!
If there is any doubt still remaining in the minds of our readers, this should inshaAllah further clear it up with regards to the banning of Anal Sex in Islam. “Allah is not ashamed of the Truth! Do not have intercourse with women through the anus.” (Al-Tirmidhi : 3192)
