[Machine] The Jews only consider it a sexual act when a man approaches his wife from behind and Allah revealed the verse, "{Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish.}" [Al-Baqarah 2:223] whether it is from the front or from behind, and they only engage in it in the missionary position.

[Machine] The Jews said, "The act of intercourse is only valid if a man approaches his wife from behind. Allah revealed: 'Your wives are a tilth (field) for you, so approach your tilth from wherever you wish.' It is permissible for a man to approach his wife from in front or behind, but he should only do so in the proper manner."

When a man has intercourse with his wife through the vagina but being on her back. the child will have squint, so the verse came down:" Your wives are your tilth; go then unto your tilth as you may desire" (ii. 223) (Using translation from Muslim 1435a)   

البيهقي:١٤١٠٢أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ تَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ فِي قُبُلِهَا مِنْ دُبُرِهَا كَانَ الْوَلَدُ أَحْوَلَ فَنَزَلَتْ {نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ} [البقرة 223]
