Now as regards your question:
No-No's of Sex with Wife in Islam
Bismillah Al Hamdulilah was Salat wa Salam ala rasoolulah. Maa baad:
Allahu Alim.
In the Name of Allah, I praise Allah and thank Him and ask for His Peace and Prayers upon Muhammad, and all of the prophets of Allah, ameen. It is only Allah Who has all the Knowledge, and we only have what He might give us.
To continue:
the best way to understand a subject is to do research in it. That is why the professor in the university only gives lectures and then makes you find the material and do the report. Right?
So the best way for me to help you to understand this question and the correct answer in Islam is to show you how I come to the correct answer myself. Neat idea, huh?

First, it is most important to know how to describe the question and the related issues along with it. The better you undrstand the easier you will understand the solution to it.
In this case the problem is the question of having sex with your wife and what is the 'forbidden' act or acts and then what is the punishment.

Before I go any further let me assure you that the owe who intents to do an evil deed because he feels that the punishment is not than great compared to what it is that he wants to do, he is a fool. The punishment of Allah is beyond anything that can be truly understood in this life, so do not ever play with that subject. In fact when a person takes this type of approach to 'understanding the limits of Allah, he is going against other teachings of Islam immediately. Prophet, peace be upon him, mentioned a 'heema' (boundaries) of Allah, and advised us to stay away from them. He mentioned that the 'heema' of Allah was in fact, His HALAL WA HARAAM. So, do not let anyone approach 'haraam' while thinking that the punishment is not that big of a deal.

OK, sorry for that, but it was necessary to cover before we begin. I am encouraging you to look for information on your own, but at the same time I am telling you to use caution while you do so. This can be dangerous. Many people throughout the last 14 centuries have been led astray by the shayton over some of these issues and he is always ready to try and take us with him, you know.
I must keep thisw short, I have to slep for at least 4 hoursdue to getting up tomorrow and going to the dentist to have a number of teeth pulled. So my answer will be a bit brief.
