Sex is best after your food has been digested

At that time the bodies’ inner coldness, hotness, dryness and wetness are moderate. Sex is harmful when the stomach is full more than it is empty. Such is the case when the body feels excessive wetness, as compared to dryness, and heat as compared to coldness. In addition, one should have sex when the desire is ignited and thus the body is naturally ready to have sex, not because one just thought about it.

One should not ignite his sexual appetite when it is not naturally excited and should not force himself to have sex. In addition, when one feels that his sexual appetite is ignited, he should have sex to satisfy it. One ‘should avoid having sex with an old woman, the very young who are not ready yet for sex or do not desire it, an ailing woman, a woman who isn't comely or a hated woman. Having sex in such cases will weaken the strength and the sexual drive.

Some doctors made an error when they stated that having sex with a matron women is better for the health than with a virgin. This statement defies what the best minds have stated and goes against the nature of mankind in general. When one marries a virgin, his heart will be

PAGE 325

fully dedicated to her and will be filled with her love, In addition, he will not divide the type of love he reserves for her with any other women (who he marries later on). This is why the Prophet b said to Jabir 'is a virgin?"

The women of Paradise, the Hom's, have not been touched by any person before their future, believing husbands in Paradise, a bounty from Allah that makes them more appealing. In addition, A'esha once said to the Prophet b ;

"If you pass by a tree that has been grazed on and a tree that is still untouched, which one would you allow your camel to graze on?" He said, "The tree that is still untouched by grazing."

She meant that he did not marry a virgin woman except her.

Having sex with a woman that one loves will not weaken the body and will expel the semen more effectively. Having sex with a woman that one does not like will weaken his strength and will not expel sufficient amounts of the semen congested in the body.

Having sex with a woman who is having her period is not allowed in the religion and by the nature of things, as it is very harmful and all doctors warn against it.

Furthermore, we should state that the best sexual position is for the man to get on top of his wife after having fondled ar.d kissed her. This is why the woman is sometimes called "Firash (mat, or bed)". The Prophet once said,

"The son belongs to the Firash."

This (a sexual position that we mentioned above) © is a part of man's being responsible for the woman, as Allah said:

1

UE >‏ قَوَمُوَ Le‏ أليِسَآءٍ 4 (4") النساء

"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women." (4:34)

In addition, Allah said: 8 osteo oo بر‎ £ oT we +ع اس‎ البقرة‎ (VAY) € لهن‎ old Fg EN هن لباس‎ 9

"They (women) are labooson [i.e. body cover, or screen, or Sakan, (i.e., you enjoy the pleasure of living with her) for you, and you (men) are Libas for them." (2:187)

The favored sexual position that we mentioned is taken from the beautiful description the Ayah gave for the

PAGE 327

wife and her husband of being the garment or the cover for each other.

The worst sexual position is for the woman to get on top of the man during sex, because it is against the natural way that Allah has created men and women and males and females. In this case, the man will not be able to ejaculate all of the semen and whatever remains will get soiled and harm his body. In addition, this position might allow some harmful moisture to descend from the woman's sexual organ to the penis. In addition, the womb would not be able to hold on to the semen in this position and thus conception will be more difficult. Further, the woman is and should be the receiving party and when this position is turned around and she becomes the giver, the act will go against the natural way.

It was reported that the People of the Scripture used to have sex with their wives while leaning on their sides, saying that this position is the most comfortable for the women.

As for Quraish and the Ansar, they used to have sexual intercourse with their woman from behind (in the vagina), and the Jews criticized them for this practice. Afterwards, Allah revealed:

ل سمل ري در س es‏ دلو he‏ . وله o‏ ( نوكم حَرْتٌ لَكُم ARS [SU‏ أ (YT) 4 Res‏ البقرة

PAGE 328

"Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you will..." (2:223)

In the Sahihain it is In addition narrated that Jabir ~ Ai ~ said, "The Jews used to say that if a man had sex

with his wife from behind in the womb the offspring would be cross-eyed. Then Allah revealed:

"your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you will..." (2:223)

In another narration of this Hadith by Muslim, the Prophet as commented (on the Ayah),

"If you wish from behind and if you wish from the front, but only in one valve (i.e. the vagina)."

Anal sex with the wife was never allowed by any Prophet, and it is a grave error that some people relate that some of the Salaf allowed men to have anal sex with their wives.

Abu Dawood narrated in his Sunon that Abu Hurayrah related from the Prophet at that he said:

"Cursed be the person who has sex with a woman in her anal canal."

In addition, Ahmad and Ibn Majah narrated that the Prophet b said:

PAGE 329

"Allah does not look at the person who has sex with his wife in her anal canal."

At-Termezey and Ahmad mentioned another narration of this Hadith in which the Prophet b said:

"Whoever has sex with a woman during her period or in her anal canal, and whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes in him will have committed disbelief in what Allah has sent down to Muhammad."

In another narration of Al-Bayhagqi, the Prophet b ‘said:

"Whoever has sex with a man or a woman in the anal canal will have committed Kufr (disbelief)."

Furthermore, it was narrated that the Messenger of Allah b said:

"Allah is not shy to say the truth; Do not have sex with women in their anal canals." :

In addition, At-Termezey narrated that Talq bin Ali said that the Messenger of Allah b said:

"Do not have sex with women in their anal canals. Allah does not shy away from saying the truth."

Further, Ibn "Adi narrated in his book, Al-Kamil,

PAGE 330

that Abdullah bin Mas'ud related from the Prophet that he said:

"Do not have sexual intercourse with women in the anal canals."

Abu Than" In addition related from the Prophet b that he said:

"Whoever has sexual intercourse with men or

women in their anal canals, will have committed disbelief."

In addition, Isma'il bin Aiyash narrated that Jabir said that the Prophet bsaid:

"Be shy with Allah, but Allah is not shy to say the truth: Do not have sex with women in their anal canals."

In addition, Ad-Darqutni narrated this Hadith using another chain of narrators and it reads:

"Allah is not shy to say the truth: anal sex with women is not allowed."

Al-Baghawi In addition narrated that once Qatadah was asked about the person who has sex with his wife in her anal canal, and Qatadah related from the Prophet s& that he said:

PAGE 331

That is the small sodomy (or homosexuality.

Imam Ahmad In addition narrated that Ibn Ab'ass said:

"Your wives are a tilth for you ..." (2:223)

"The Ayah, was revealed regarding some people from the Ansar. They came to the Prophet * and asked him and he said, "Have sex with your wife however you like, but avoid anal sex."

In addition in the Musnad Imam Ahmad it is narrated that Ibn Ab'ass said that Umar bin Al-Khattab came to the Prophet b and said: "O Messenger of Allah b I am destroyed." The Prophet m, said, "What has destroyed you?" ‘Umar said, "I turned over my Firash (mount, woman) last night (had sexual intercourse from the back in the vagina)." The Prophet b did not answer him. Soon after, Allah revealed:

"Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth, when or how you wish (2:223)

The Prophet b said:

"Do it from the front and {from behind if you wish, but avoid menstruation and the anal canal."

Furthermore, At-Termezey narrated that Ibn

PAGE 332

Ab'ass related from the Prophet b that he said:

"Allah does not Look at a man who had anal sex with another man or with a woman."

'Ugbah bin 'Amir In addition narrated that the Messenger of Allah b said:

"Cursed be whoever has sex with women in their anal canals."

Furthermore, Musnad Al-Harith bin Abi Usamah narrated that Abu Hurayrah and Ibn Ab'ass said, "The Messenger of Allah b gave us a speech just before he died and it was the last speech the Prophet b gave in Al- Medina until he went to Allah. He said:

"Whoever had sex with a woman in her anal canal, or with a man, or with a male child, will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection with an odor emitting from him that is more foul than rotted carrion. The people will be bothered by his smell until he enters Hellfire. In addition Allah will destroy his rewards and will not accept from him a prayer or a fast. He will In addition be entered into a coffin of fire and the coffin will be shut closed on him using nails of fire."

Abu Hurayrah commented, "This is for whomever did not repent (from sodomy)."

PAGE 333

"A man came to the Messenger of Allah b and asked him about having sex with women from the rear. The Prophet b said, 'It is allowed." When the man left, the Prophet $a summoned him and asked him. What was your question? In which of the two holes it from is the rear in the vagina, then it is allowed. As for having sex in the anal canal from the rear. no. Allah is not shy to say the truth. Do not have sex with women in the anal canal." Furthermore, Allah said:

"Then go in unto them as Allah has ordred for

vii

you."

Mujahid said, "I asked Ibn Ab'ass about the meaning of what Allah said:

"Then go in unto them as Allah has ordained for you."

He said, 'Have sex with her in the same place where you were not allowed when she is menstruating.”

All bin Abi Talhah commented, "Meaning in the vagina."

The Ayah has indicated that it is not allowed to have sexual intercourse in the anal canal in two different ways.

First, Allah has only allowed having sex in the

PAGE 334

place where the offspring is created not the anus, which is a harmful place. The place of offspring is mentioned in what Allah said:

عع 4

454 £4 ء 2ه‎ z- البقرة‎ (YYY) 4 فَأتُوهرك مِنْ حيتٌ أَمَركم لله‎ (

"As Allah has ordained for you (go in unto them in any manner as long as it is in their vagina)." (2:222)

Having sex with the wife from the rear in the vagina is In addition entailed in the Ayah, because Allah said:

on 6E |

SAN (YYT) eee GI فأتوأ حرّثكم‎ «

"So go to your tilth, when or how you wi7l." (2:223)

It means that from wherever you wish, from the front or the rear. In addition, Ibn Ab'ass said: meaning the vagina.

Allah has disallowed vaginal sex with the woman when there is a temporary harmful condition (menstruation). So what about anal sex in the place of harm which will In addition harm the cause of reproduction. In addition, anal sex with the woman will surely encourage the man to have anal sex with

PAGE 335

young boys.

In addition, the wife has a right on her husband to have natural sexual activity and anal sex does not satisfy this right nor fulfill her desire.

Further, the anal canal was not created for this act nor is it suitable for it, unlike the vagina. Those who refrain from sex in the vagina and perform anal sex will have deviated from Allah's Wisdom and Commandments.

In addition, anal sex is very harmful for the man and this is why the wisest doctors advise against it. The vagina has a special quality in extracting the semen and relieving the man from it. The anal canal, on the other hand, does not help extract all of the semen because it is not in its nature.

Anal sex is In addition harmful to the man because it requires tiresome movements and because it goes against his nature.

The anus is In addition the place of dirt and filth. Yet, the man faces it with his face and embraces it [during anal sex]!

Anal sex is In addition very harmful for the woman because it is unnatural, abnormal and not suitable for what she was created for.

PAGE 336

Anal sex In addition causes depression and distress, along with the people feeling hateful and estranged with both parties to the anal sex.

Ansl sex In addition blaskens the face, sauses

distress in the chest, extinguishes the li ght of the heart and gives the face a darkness that will become a trademark for those who do anal sex.

Anal sex In addition causes hatred (between the participants to the act) and will soon lead both participants to part from each other.

Anal sex In addition causes the nature of both participants to be ierminally spoiled, unless they repent to Allah with a sincere heart.

Anal sex In addition erases all the good qualities and replaces them with their opposites. It In addition dissipates the affection and good relations between the two parties, who will soon curse and hate each other.

Anal sex is In addition one of the major reasons behind the destruction of the bounties and the coming of torment and disaster. It In addition leads to being cursed and hated by Allah, as He will ignore those who indulge in this act and would not look at them. What good can such people ever gain later on and what evil could they wish to avert? What kind of life can they live after Allah's

PAGE 337

curse falls on them, along with His hatred towards them, His ignoring them and His shunning them?

Anal sex a so dissipates shyness, and shyness is the life of the heart. When the heart looses shyness, it will like the disliked and dislike the liked. Thus, the heart will have fallen into utter ruin and destruction.

Anal sex In addition alters human nature from the path that Allah has created it for, to a type of lower animal behavior. Rather, it is even lower. When the nature is altered and changed, the heart, the deeds and the guidance will In addition be altered. One will then like the evil things and deeds, leading him to fall into total disarray regarding his condition, deeds, and speech.

More than any other act, anal sex In addition causes one to have rude behavior and makes him dare to commit evil.

Anal sex In addition brings one humiliation, degradation and disgrace more than any other act.

Finally, anal sex causes the slave hatred and dislike, and the people will feel despise and disgust with him, as is evident ail around us.

May Allah's peace and blessings be on he whose guidance gives those who follow it the happiness of this

PAGE 338

and the Next Life. On the other hana, destruction and demise of this and the Next Life are the result of deviating from his guidance and what he was sent with.
