Answer:
Atonement for anal sex
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
3192 Narrated by Khuzaymah ibn
Thabit
The Prophet (saws) said, "Allah is not ashamed of the truth.
Do not have intercourse with women through the anus."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3195 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said, "Allah will not look at a man who has intercourse with a man
or a woman through the anus."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 2157 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Prophet (saws)
said: ‘He who has intercourse with his wife through her anus is accursed.’
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 3895 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Prophet (saws)
said: ‘If anyone resorts to a diviner and believes in what he says, or has
intercourse with his wife when she is menstruating, or has intercourse with his wife through her
anus, he has nothing to do with what has
been sent down to Muhammad (saws).
The Messenger of Allah (saws) absolutely forbade the
believers to have anal sex with their wives; and warned that the person who
practices this abomination would be accursed, and Allah Subhanah will not even
glance His Look of Mercy on such people.
To the best of our knowledge, there is no penalty or
punishment or ‘kaffarah’ (atonement) prescribed in Shariah for the doers of
this abomination of anal sex in the life of this world; but if one who
committed this abomination of a sin dies without seeking sincere repentance for
their act, their punishment in the Hereafter in the Supreme and Majestic Court
of Allah Subhanah would be very severe indeed.
Your Question: I
have commited a mistake, even knowing that Anal Sex is prohabitted in Islam I

Whatever deeds one might have
done, if one turns to Allah Subhanah in
sincere Taubah and seeks forgiveness,
Allah Subhanah has promised in the Holy Quran that He will forgive all
the sins of such a believer, even if one
has committed the gravest sin of all: ‘Shirk’!
The conditions or ways to seek sincere Taubah or
Repentance from the Merciful Lord are:
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah
Zumur verses 53-54:
(O Prophet) say: “O My servants who have wronged
their own souls….Do not despair of Allah’s Mercy! Surely,
Allah forgives all sins. He indeed
is the All Forgiving, All Merciful. Return to your Lord and submit to Him before
the scourge overtakes you; for then you
may get no help from anywhere.”
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale
Imraan verse 135-136:
Allah likes such good people very much,
who, if ever they commit a base deed or
wrong their own soul by the commission of a sin, remember Allah instantly, and ask for forgiveness from Him for their
shortcomings. For who, but Allah,
can forgive sins? (And Allah
loves those) who do not knowingly persist in the wrongs they did. These will be rewarded with forgiveness from
Allah, and with Gardens beneath which
canals flow, and they will reside
therein forever! How excellent is the
reward of those who do good deeds!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verse 54:
When those come to you who believe in Our
Signs, say: "Peace be on you! Your Lord had inscribed for Himself (the rule
of) Mercy. Verily if any of you
did evil in ignorance, and thereafter
repented and amended (his conduct), Lo!
He is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful."
Your Question:…….can
you please tell me what should I do now.
Dear and beloved brother in Islam, turn back to your Lord
and sincerely seek His forgiveness for transgressing His Prescribed Boundaries,
and make a solemn covenant with Him that you will never never ever commit the
abomination again…..it is expected that you will find your Lord Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2357 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "He who
repents of a sin is like him who has committed no sin."
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
