He is afraid to get married lest he has intercourse with his wife in his back passage

 

I have not got married yet. I know that it is not permissible for the husband to have intercourse with his wife in her back passage, but I do not want to hide from you the fact that my desires always overwhelm me. I try to repent and do what is right, but sometimes I go back to sin. I am afraid that if I get married I will have intercourse with my wife in her back passage, and that the Shaytaan will overpower me. What advice can you give me? 


My second question is: would it be permissible for me to approach her from behind but over her clothes?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

It is emphatically forbidden to have intercourse with one's
wife in her back passage, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman
or with a woman in her back passage, or goes to a fortuneteller and believes
what he says, has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad.”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 135; Ibn Maajah, 639; classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. 

And he said: “Cursed is the one who has intercourse with a
woman in her back passage.” Narrated by Ahmad, 9731; Abu Dawood, 2162;
classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. See also
question no. 1103. 

With regard to your
avoiding marriage because of these fears, this is dealing with one mistake
by making another. Ignore this waswaas (whisper from the Shaytaan) and keep
busy with things that will benefit you in both spiritual and worldly ways.
Ask Allaah to purify your heart and protect your chastity; hasten to get
married for that is the best remedy for you. Beware of the wrath and anger
of Allaah and of His painful punishment, and do not be one of those who are
heedless. 

Remember Allaah a great deal and do lots of acts of worship,
lower your gaze and avoid looking at haraam things, and avoid committing
sinful actions, so that these evil devilish thoughts will leave you. 

With regard to coming to your wife from behind but over her
clothes, you should avoid doing that. Do not be like a shepherd who grazes
his flocks around a sanctuary and soon transgresses its boundary, as the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said. (Narrated by
al-Bukhaari, 25; Muslim, 1599). 

Ibn Rajab (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

Allaah has guarded these haraam things and forbidden His
slaves to approach them, and he calls them His limits. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“These are the limits (set) by Allaah, so approach them
not. Thus does Allaah make clear His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, lessons,
signs, revelations, verses, laws, legal and illegal things, Allaah’s set
limits, orders, etc.) to mankind that they may become Al-Muttaqoon (the
pious)”

[al-Baqarah 2:187] 

Thus it is clear that
Allaah has defined for them what is permissible for them and what is
forbidden to them, so that they will not approach what is forbidden and they
will not go beyond what is permitted. Hence Allaah says in another verse
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“These are the limits ordained by Allaah, so do not
transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits ordained by Allaah,
then such are the Zaalimoon (wrongdoers)”

[al-Baqarah 2:229] 

The one who grazes around a sanctuary and close to it will
soon enter it. The same applies to one who goes beyond what is permitted and
falls into doubtful areas. He approaches something haraam with the intention
of merely coming close, but soon he will commit forbidden actions blatantly.
This indicates that we must keep away from haraam things, and erect barriers
between us and them. 

Jaami’ al-‘Uloom wa’l-Hukam,

May Allaah protect us and
you from all evils, and make us and you content with that which He has
permitted. May He give us enough of what is permissible that we have no need
of that which He has forbidden. 

And Allaah knows best.
