Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is not permissible to have intercourse in the back passage even with ones wife. Severe warnings have being sounded in the Noble Ahadith regarding those who practice such an immoral act. Consider the following Ahadith:

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رضي الله تعالى عنه narrates that Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

Whoever has intercourse with his wife during her menses or through the back, then he has disbelieved in what has been revealed to Muhammad

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas رضي الله تعالى عنه reports that Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid:

Allah Ta’ala does not look at a person who has intercourse with his wife through the back.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas رضي الله تعالى عنهwas asked regarding intercourse through the back. He replied:

He is asking me regarding kufr!

And Allah knows best

Wassalamu Alaikum
