Answer
All praise is due to Allah alone, and may the Salah and Salam of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his companions. To answer your question, we say while seeking all the success from Allah: Allah, the Most High, explained in His statement (interpretation of the meaning): {Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish} [Quran 2:223] that it is permissible for men to enjoy their wives as they wish, as long as intercourse is only in the vagina. That said, it is permissible for the husband to enjoy that which is between a woman's thighs and such. This is based on the authentic hadith that Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported wherein he mentioned that the Prophet (may the Salah and Salam of Allah be upon him) was informed that the Jews would not eat with or have intercourse with any of their menstruating women. The Prophet (may the Salah and Salam of Allah be upon him) responded: “Do everything, except intercourse,” reported by Muslim (302) Also, a group of scholars from the Maliki, Shafi’e and Hanbali jurists stated that it is permissible to enjoy that which is between the woman’s buttocks, without penetration. That said, the answer to your question is that it is permissible, unless there is fear of anal penetration, because the means leading to the forbidden, is also forbidden. And Allah knows best.
