Question

Is it allowed that the husband kisses his wife undress from the back as the husband's private part touches his wife's anus without penetration?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer

Anal Sex is something that is haram and unlawful in Islam. It is narrated by Saaiduna Ibn Abbas Radiallahu Anhu that the Prophet of Allah Sallahu Alahi Wasalam has said:

“Allah does not look at a man who comes to a man or to a woman through its back.”

(Sunan Tirmizi p.220 v.1)

It is permissible for the husband to touch the surrounding and outside area of the anus even by rubbing his penis in between his wife’s buttocks as long as there is no penetration.  It should be borne in mind that this will only be permissible if one is certain of avoiding penetration, otherwise abstaining from that area will be necessary. (Islamic Guide to Sexual Relations, Mufti Ibn Adam Al Kawthari, p.96)

With regards to your question, it will be permissible for the husband's private part to touch his wife’s anus whilst kissing her back, however, to abstain from touching the anus area with the private part will be more preferable as it may lead to penetration.

Only Allah Knows Best
