Re: Concubines

Question is - why are we talking about concubines in today's age, when you can't get one?

firstly u have to make a decision on 2 things
did islam come only for 7th century arabia
second things that prophet[saw] made lawful are lawful for ever as no other shariah will be sent after him we may not be able to practice all of them but if someone can it shud not be considered wrong]
so whats the need of it ?
well islam lays down certain prohibitions and some other are laid down by our cultural values , what i am saying is not a manifestation of my anti-social personality disorder but i believe today's values and traditions are to be respected as long as they are not in conflict with your faith.Ideally u shud fulfill both but If fulfilling religious AND cultural obligations becomes too overbearing then its better to forgo the latter than former
