Primary text

Intercourse in the anus does not remove the impediment of 'Innah' because the anus is not the proper site for intercourse, analogous to penetration below the vagina. Consequently, it does not establish the permissibility ('Ihlal') for the first husband, nor does it establish marital chastity ('Ihsan').

Supporting text

Ibn Aqil preferred the view that penetration in the anus removes 'Innah' on the grounds that it is more difficult; whoever is capable of that is more capable of the standard act.
