Cursed is the one who has anal intercourse with his wife

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"Cursed is the one who has anal intercourse with his wife."

«مَلْعُون مَنْ أتَى امرأتَه في دُبُرِها».

Narrated by Abu Dāwūd and An-Nasā’i in Al-Kubra and by Ahmad
Hasan
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 from the Hadith

It is prohibited to have anal intercourse with women.

It is permissible to enjoy the wife's body except for the anus.

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.
