Does intercourse in the anus or partial penetration constitute retraction (*Fay'*) of the *Ila'* vow?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of the Oath of Abstention (Ila')
Primary text
If the husband engages in intercourse in the anus or only partially penetrates without the glans entering the vagina, it does not constitute retraction (*Fay'*). This is because the oath was sworn regarding abstention from what he was obligated to refrain from, and the harm is not removed by such an act.
