آیه: 223

نِسَآؤُكُمۡ حَرۡثٞ لَّكُمۡ فَأۡتُواْ حَرۡثَكُمۡ أَنَّىٰ شِئۡتُمۡۖ وَقَدِّمُواْ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُم مُّلَٰقُوهُۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

223. Your wives are a tilth  (i.e., sowing of seed) for you84, so approach your tilth as you like85, and put forward (good deeds) for yourselves86. Fear Allāh, and know that you will meet Him. Give good news to the believers.

84. In as much as you sow your seeds into their wombs in expectance of yield.
85. In whatever position, given that intercourse takes place in the vagina not the anus.
86. One of the most intimate and enjoyable experiences that a husband and wife can have together is enjoying foreplay, sexual intercourse and the climax called orgasm. That is, a husband and wife having sex together. Sexual activity as defined here includes foreplay, sexual intercourse and orgasm. Allāh designed our genitals for sexual activity to draw a husband and wife together and then to procreate.
