Section: If he has intercourse with his wife in her anus, there is no hadd (prescribed punishment) upon him, because he has a doubt (shubhah) regarding that, but he shall be punished with ta'zir (discretionary punishment) for committing a forbidden act. Upon her, ghusl (full ritual bath) is mandatory, as it is the insertion of a private part into a private part, and its ruling is the same as intercourse in the vagina regarding the invalidation of acts of worship, the establishment of the dowry (mahr), and the obligation of the waiting period ('iddah). If the intercourse is with a woman to whom he is not married, the hadd for a sodomite (luwati) becomes mandatory, and there is no dowry due upon him, because he has not caused the loss of a benefit for which there is compensation in the Shari'ah. Intercourse with his wife in the anus does not establish ihsan (the state of having been married which qualifies one for stoning in cases of zina), for that is only established through complete intercourse, and this is not complete intercourse. It does not make her lawful for her first husband (in cases of thrice-divorced wives who must marry another before returning to the first), because the woman does not 'taste the honey' of the man through it. Furthermore, the (legal) return (fai'ah) to the wife is not achieved by it, nor does it fulfill the requirement of ending the state of impotence ('unnah), because intercourse in these instances is for the sake of the woman's right, and her right is intercourse in the vagina. The sufficiency of her silence as permission for marriage is not invalidated by it, because her original virginity remains intact.

Section: There is no harm in deriving pleasure from her between the buttocks without insertion, because the Sunnah only came to prohibit the anus, so it is specific to that; and because it was prohibited for the sake of harm, and that is specific to the anus, thus the prohibition is restricted to it.

Section: 'Azl (withdrawal) is makruh (disliked). Its meaning is that he withdraws when he is close to ejaculation, so he ejaculates outside the vagina. Its dislike was narrated from Umar, Ali, Ibn Umar, and Ibn Mas'ud. It was also narrated from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, because it contains the reduction of offspring and cuts off pleasure for the one being approached. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) urged the pursuit of the causes for having children, saying: "Marry, multiply, and have many descendants, for I will be proud of you before the nations." And he said: "A black woman who is fertile is better than a beautiful woman who is barren." Unless it is for a need, such as...
