How should one get married if they have committed sexual immoralities?
I am a muslim male. When I was a child a person older than me had anal sex with me several times. When I was a teenager I had oral sex with one of my cousins. Does that make me a fornicator? According to Quran 24:3 A fornicator does not marry except a fornicator. How can I get married?

What did Imam Shafi'i mean when he said that no one can be compelled into intercourse?
Imam al-Shafi‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his famous book Al-Um: > و قال الامام الشافعي رحمه الله في كتاب "الأم" : وهكذا لو كانت منفردة > به ، أو مع أمة له يطؤها ، أمر بتقوى الله عز وجل ، وألا يضر بها في > الجماع ، ولم يفرض عليه منه شيء بعينه ، إنما يفرض عليه ما لا صلاح لها > إلا به من ن...
Imam al-Shafi‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his famous book Al-Um:
> و قال الامام الشافعي رحمه الله في كتاب "الأم" : وهكذا لو كانت منفردة
> به ، أو مع أمة له يطؤها ، أمر بتقوى الله عز وجل ، وألا يضر بها في
> الجماع ، ولم يفرض عليه منه شيء بعينه ، إنما يفرض عليه ما لا صلاح لها
> إلا به من نفقة وسكنى وكسوة ، وأن يأوى إليها ، فأما الجماع فموضع تلذذ
> ولا يجبر أحد عليه. (كتاب الأم، الجزء 6، الصفحة 482، باب الخلع والنشوز)
Here’s a precise English translation of the passage from Imam al-Shafi‘i’s Al-Um (Vol. 6, p. 482, Chapter on Khul‘ and Nushuz):
> "And likewise, if she is alone with him, or with a female slave whom
> he has intercourse with, he is commanded to fear Allah Almighty and
> not to harm her in sexual relations. Nothing specific is prescribed
> for him regarding this; rather, what is required of him is what she
> cannot do without—namely, providing her with maintenance,
> accommodation, clothing, and taking her in. As for sexual intercourse,
> it is a matter of pleasure, and no one can be compelled to it."
Is Imam Shafi'i talking about MEN only i.e. intercourse is a matter of pleasure only for MEN and they cannot be compelled to do it? Or is he talked about both MEN and WOMEN (wife and concubine) in general?

Did al-Halimi mean that consent of a concubine is required if her master wishes to have intercourse with her?

Someone claimed that Abu Abdullah al-Halimi considered it obligatory (wājib) for the master to obtain the slave girl’s consent before having intercourse with her. According to him, it is compulsory upon the master to refrain from touching her without her permission.
How true is his claim? Actually, I do not understand Arabic, so it is not possible for me to know whether their translations are correct or wrong.
Imam Abu Abdullah al-Halimi (d. 403 AH) said:
>وإن اشترى جارية فكرهت أن يمسها أو يضاجعها، فلا يمسها ولا يضاجعها ولا يطأها إلا بإذنها
>
> If someone buys a slave girl, and she dislikes that he touches or has intimacy with her, then that he should not touch her or have intimacy with her or have intercourse with her without her permission.
>
>[ Minhāj fīsh-Shu‘abul Īmān, Halimi 3/267 ](https://shamela.ws/book/18567/1353)

After having a child (where the delivery was normal) my husband is having a hard time fulfilling his sexual desire with me; not because of outward appearance, but during sex when he is inside me. There are surgeries available to help fix the situation:
> Vaginoplasty is a procedure that aims to "tighten up" a vagina that's become slack or loose from vaginal childbirth or aging. -- WebMD
However, I'm not sure if these types of surgeries are halal (due to necessity) or haram.
I have also noticed the change with myself and feel very depressed and embarrassed by this thing. Please, I'm seeking the most correct knowledge on this situation.

Anal sex in a marriage
I am having issues. I am not arguing if it's allowed or not, it is just something that I need to clear up. 1.

I am having issues. I am not arguing if it's allowed or not, it is just something that I need to clear up.
1. I keep reading that butt sex is haram because the word tilth is used
in the Quran when saying go on to your wives the way you want to.
But the same ayath is to justify oral sex, even though it doesn't
get you pregnant. And does that mean contraception is not allowed?
2. They say it is not clean, but that's just a matter of opinion, and everyone showers daily, washes them selves, and keeps it clean.
It is safe to assume that people are more hygienic now than ever
before.
3. It is haram because it may harm her. With lube it doesn't hurt at all, and no medical reason for it to be harmful. It only hurts
without proper warm up, and we are commanded to have foreplay so it
shouldn't be an issue at all.
4. Also the hadeeth that forbid it, I read all over that they are weak, and shouldn't be taken into account because they contradict
what the Quran says, go onto your wives how ever you want. (Allah
swa is not shy to say the truth, don't have butt sex with your
wives. And Allah swa will not look at him on the day of judgement
who has butt sex with his wife.)
I don't want to withhold something from my marriage because of opinions.

Is it haram to visualize having sex?
Is it haram for an unmarried person to think about having sex? By this I mean seeing themselves having sex with a person whom they find attractive and thinking about how it would feel if they were a married couple in bed.

Can a wife refuse intimacy if she is simply not in mood?
Many claim that the hadith of angle cursing wife is only applicable if she is weaponizing intimacy and she can deny it if she doesn't want to do. Is the claim correct? Does angle curse her if she denys simply because she does not want to or is applicable then also?
