Question
Does anal sex break the marriage?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate.
I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.
Anal sex does not break one’s marriage. However, it is a major sin, and one should repent and seek forgiveness from Allah Most High.
Anal sex is strictly prohibited in Islam. There are many narrations of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) which emphasize this.
Khuzayma Ibn Thabit (Allah be pleased with him) said the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: “Allah is not too shy to tell the truth,” three times. “Do not have intercourse with women in their back passages .” [Ibn Majah]
