Question
Can we have anal sex if we dont want to have children?
Answer
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
No. Anal sex is prohibited by scholarly consensus, because of the clear texts prohibiting it. [Ibn Qudama, al-Mughni] The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who engages in anal sex. [Ahmad]
There is grave spiritual and established physical, and psychological harm in this act.
What it mean for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to have cursed something?
It means that thing is distant from Divine Mercy, and an object of Divine Dislike--this is the meaning of "cursed" (mal`un). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed certain matters in order that we take admonition and avoid them. [Ibn `Allan, Dalil al-Falihin Sharh Riyad al-Salihin]
And Allah alone gives success.
Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
