Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warns that the husband who has anal intercourse with his wife is cursed and expelled from Allah's mercy and that this is from the major sins.

Benefits
  1. It is prohibited to have anal intercourse with women.
  2. It is permissible to enjoy the wife's body except for the anus.
  3. A Muslim approaches his wife through vaginal intercourse as commanded by Allah, but as for anal intercourse, it corrupts the natural disposition, disrupts procreation, goes against sound human nature, and causes significant harm to both spouses.
