Summary
The fatwa states that Shafi'i scholars permit a husband to enjoy every part of his wife's body sexually, except intercourse through the anus, which is forbidden. It cites Fath al-Mu`in, which allows this even by sucking the clitoris, provided it is done in a proper manner and causes no harm. Looking at the private part is disliked in the Shafi'i school without need, while the Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali schools permit it absolutely. Only the Hanafi and Hanbali schools consider refraining from looking more fitting in terms of etiquette.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Diharuskan bagi seorang suami itu menikmati secara seksual akan tubuh isterinya, selain daripada lubang dubur (liwat), sekalipun dengan menghisap biji kelentitnya.
