What is the ruling on thinking about other women during intercourse with one’s spouse in Islam?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Is it permissible to think about other women (e.g. by thought, by seeing pictures of women, thinking of other’s intercourse) during intercourse with own wife?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1097/714/L=9/1434)

It is not lawful to think about other women while having intercourse with one’s wife.
والأقرب لقواعد مذهبنا عدم الحل ، لأن تصور تلك الأجنبية بين يديه يطؤها فيه تصوير مباشرة المعصية على هيئتها فهو نظير مسألة الشرب (شامى: 9/535)
