Re: Is It Ok To Have Sex With Female Slaves In Islam
It is very clear that these verses mean that a Muslim can be intimate with women that have been procured as captives (IF HE HAS NO FINANCIAL MEANS) and even then according to Molana Modudi's Tafhim-ul-Quran, there are some rules and regulations for the issue as follows (I am translating them from his tafseer here myself for the ease) from Tafhim-ul-Quran page 340 Please let go any of my translation mistake if any.
POINT # 1
The women who are captured in a war, no soldier can indulge in any kind of sexual activity with them. Such women are straight handed over to the government. The government has the prerogative to set them free, take "Fidya" for them, exchange them for Muslim POWs or distribute them in the soldiers. A soldier can only be intimate with the woman that have been given to him from the government's proper disposal.
POINT # 2
A woman that has been disposed to a soldier through the government, a soldier cannot have sex with her till she menstruates at least once so as to make sure she is not pregnant. Before making sure is she is pregnant, it is HARAM to have sex with her. If she is obviouslt pregnant, it is HARAM to have sex with her
POINT # 3
It is not necessary for the captive women to be from Ahl-ul-Kitab. To whatever religion them belong, when they have been disposed/distributed to who so ever, he can be intimate with her/them.
POINT # 4
A person can have sex with only that women which have been given to him from the government, and not with anyone else. The childern from this lady will be considered the LEGITIMATE generation of that MAN who has that woman and such childern will have the SAME LEGAL RIGHTS what has been described in SHARIAH for the real kids. Such woman CANNOT be sold after a man has childern with her and if her master dies, she will automatically be set free.
POINT # 5
If such a woman is given to some other man, IN NIKAH, by the first man who obtained her from the government, he cannot have sex with her.
POINT # 6
There is no restriction on the number of Captive ladies similar to the one one the Wives (Four views) from Shariah. The reason behind this was not that the people accumulate such captive ladies in their homes countless but it is kept in this way because of the uncertainity of the war situations and results.
POINT # 7
This doesn't relate to the topic's discussion
POINT # 8
The disposal of captive ladies with ownership rights from the government to the Muslim men, is exactly similar in legality as NIKAH that is why someone who is not hesitant to marry someone would not feel aversive to being intimate with the captive lady.....
POINT # 9
If some commander, for the time being, allows his soldiers to have sex with the PRISONER ladies, just to fullfill the lust, it is totally HARAM according to Islamic Law....There is no difference between Zina and this act committed this way.
