Ruling concerning anal intercourse

Question: A man asked his wife to have anal intercourse with him. Is this acceptable behavior from the point of view of the religion?

Response: That is an evil act. Abu Daawood, an-Nasaa.ee and others record with a good chain that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:

«Accursed is the one who has anal intercourse with his wife».
