Question

I have committed sodomy with my wife, we are muslim does it break up our Nikkah?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is a major sin to have intercourse in the back passage.

Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم said:

Cursed is his who has intercourse with his wife in her back passage.

(Abu Dawood)

You should make sincere Tauba and refrain from such an evil act in future.

However this will not break the nikah.

And Allah knows best

Wassalamu Alaikum
