[quote="shamsul-arefin
hello...Can u answer this question with a simple yes or no D
Is it Ok to have sex with slaves?
Does Islam allow Slavery ?
peace
Salaams and peace ..
Yep, I can answer with "a simple yes or no" and more ..
NO, Islam does NOT allow slavery, but at the same time it does not encourage overnight abolition of slavery in a society where this system has been rife for centuries, for that could carry grave risks of creating lawlessness, insecurity and revenge with people going on a rampage misusing their newly found freedom. Therefore, Islam strongly encourages teaching and educating slaves, and whenever the master/mistress is sure that their slaves are ready to lead independent lives, he or she must set them free by giving them a sum of money to start their lives. Coming from a country where the feudal system is rampant in the rural areas, I certainly prefer the strategy of gradual abolition rather than a revolutionary style eradication.
YES, during the days when slavery was an acceptable norm of the society, sex was considered ok with slaves. Not just sex, but almost anything was thought okay with or for slaves. But with the advent of Islam, the dictates of the Glorious Qur'aan brought about many restrictions & positive amendments regarding a master's behaviour toward his slaves .. one of which was that female slaves cannot be forced to have sex if they prefer to preserve their virginity. And of course, not having slaves at all by freeing them whenever possible is nearest to piety as per the values of the Glorious Qur'aan. Besides, the Qur'aan also mentions the freeing of slaves as a penalty for various wrong deeds. It would help a person to atone for their sins in the days when slavery existed.
And Allah knows best, surely!

The sad fact is that Mary the Copt was a concubine of Muhammad. The conclusion that 'what must not be cannot be' is as false as the supposition that Islam put an end to slavery.
peace.
Marya was a coptic slave presented to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by the ruler of Egypt, but she did not remain a slave for long. Soon after she was presented to the Prophet, he freed her and married her legally, just the way he was married to Aisha and Hafsah. This is the fact and it is history. If certain people wish to twist it for their own reasons, that's a different matter.

sis i didnt write it, i just copied and pasted it here
There are so many different version available regarding marya that it is difficult to paint a clear picture. this information is from the link provided by brother shamsul-arefin.Ibn Katheer said
Taking a concubine as well as a wife is permissible according to the law of Ibraaheem (peace be upon him). Ibraaheem did that with Haajar, when he took her as a concubine when he was married to Saarah.
Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 1/383
And Ibn Katheer also said
The phrase ?and those (slaves) whom your right hand possesses ? whom Allaah has given to you? means, it is permissible for you take concubines from among those whom you seized as war booty. He took possession of Safiyyah and Juwayriyah and he freed them and married them; he took possession of Rayhaanah bint Sham?oon al-Nadariyyah and Maariyah al-Qibtiyyah, the mother of his son Ibraaheem (peace be upon them both), and they were among his concubines, may Allaah be pleased with them both.
Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/500
The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is permissible.
Ibn Qudaamah said
There is no dispute (among the scholars) that it is permissible to take concubines and to have intercourse with one's slave woman, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning)
?And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts).
Except from their wives or the (women slaves) whom their right hands possess for (then) they are not blameworthy.?
Maariyah al-Qibtiyyah was the umm walad (a slave woman who bore her master a child) of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and she was the mother of Ibraaheem, the son of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), of whom he said, ?Her son set her free.? Haajar, the mother of Isma?eel (peace be upon him), was the concubine of Ibraaheem the close friend (khaleel) of the Most Merciful (peace be upon him). ?Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) had a number of slave women who bore him children, to each of whom he left four hundred in his will. ?Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) had slave women who bore him children, as did many of the Sahaabah. ?Ali ibn al-Husayn, al-Qaasim ibn Muhammad and Saalim ibn ?Abd-Allaah were all born from slave mothers
Al-Mughni, 10/441
Islam Q&A (www.islam-qa.com)A slave woman with whom a man has intercourse is known as a sariyyah (concubine) from the word sirr, which means marriage.
This is indicated by the Qur?aan and Sunnah, and this was done by the Prophets. Ibraaheem (peace be upon him) took Haajar as a concubine and she bore him Ismaa?eel (may peace be upon them all).
Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also did that, as did the Sahaabah, the righteous and the scholars. The scholars are unanimously agreed on that and it is not permissible for anyone to regard it as haraam or to forbid it. Whoever regards that as haraam is a sinner who is going against the consensus of the scholars.

Actually it is just a very simple and straightforward episode, exactly as I mentioned. There's no need to get confused.People keep painting different pictures of everything and in every era. Such gossip is inherent of human nature. But that cannot change the truth nor prevent it from standing out. We just need to be a little perceptive as we go about seeking truth and make sure we acquire it from the proper sources.
Needless to say, this information provided by br. shams-ul-arefin is total nonsense.

thanks all for the answer....
If Quran allowed sex with slaves than its also allowing slavery.....this doesnt sound right to me. A nice excuse to have so many sexual partners...........I dont understand why muslims accuse ppl if they have gf/bf or sex before marriage between couples.
Why dont we just get straight..!!! sex is ok between two person who are willing to share their body with each other thru understanding. Forget abt all these institutional marriage. where is the harm here?

Hey brother! By all means you can show it to your wife. If she possesses even with an iota of common sense, she won't be pushed. Please read my post on this thread dated Feb.5. This law is not valid any longer. It was valid only as long as slavery was an accepted universal system. Unfortunately for men, slavery has now officially been abolished from 'planet earth.' So, your new choices are .. you either have a free woman as your mistress or stay with your wife. If you're brave, try telling her this instead of an obsolete law no longer in practice, can you? Not to worry .. I'll nurse you if you end up with any broken bones lol
Moreover, lets not forget, even when this culture was practiced, it wasn't introduced by Islam. It existed hundreds (if not thousands) of years prior to Islam. But Islam implemented several laws & responsibilities on slave owners for the protection of slaves, female slaves in particular.

First let me say I understand that slavery doesnt exist(not legally)any longer..My question is does Captives only refer to slaves?Because at times of war,armies and soldiers take captives,but they are not slaves?So if the captive is willing for some reason to have sex with their captor, is it legal to have sex with them..becauseIlla AAala azwajihim awma malakat aymanuhum fa-innahum ghayru maloomeena
Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed,
And
Illa AAala azwajihim awma malakat aymanuhum fa-innahum ghayru maloomeenaExcept with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame,
seem to imply that one can have sex with Captives of war(not only slaves)?
Does the Arabic word mean slave or captive or both? -

Her common sense is not a problem, but her anger is. Ok I will read it.
zainabThis law is not valid any longer.
It was valid only as long as slavery was an accepted universal system.I 100% agree with you, I believe we have to keep it in mind that those who are being addresses in 235 and 7024 lived 1400 years ago, in a different age/location with their own set of rules based on their own culture. I think instead of completely denying the fact we should say that this laws is obsolete so its GONE WITH THE WIND.
zainabUnfortunately for men, slavery has now officially been abolished from 'planet earth.'
Yea unfortunately for some.. ?however the likes of taliban still believe it is permitted.
zainabSo, your new choices are.. You either have a free woman as your mistress or stay with your wife.
The problem with taking a free woman for a mistress is, that THEY HAVE FREE MEN TO GUARD THEM so to be on the safer side, it is better to stay with the wife unless... roll
zainabIf you're brave, try telling her this instead of an obsolete law no longer in practice, can you?
I am not sure how brave I can be, but surely I cant be that stupid lol .
zainab Not to worry .. I'll nurse you if you end up with any broken bones
well thank you sister for caring, but I sincerely believe PREVENTION IS BETTER THEN CURE wink .
zainabMoreover, lets not forget, even when this culture was practiced, it wasn't introduced by Islam. It existed hundreds (if not thousands) of years prior to Islam. But Islam implemented several laws & responsibilities on slave owners for the protection of slaves, female slaves in particular.
Sis I agree with all that you have said, for me the worst thing to do is to take undue advantage of one?s position/power. We always had and still have housemaids, we were brought up with this constant feeding from my parents that we have to respect them and protect them from any harm, when we were kids we sometime would misbehaved with them and my father would tell us that we all should be thankful to Allah because he could have switched positions and made them our bosses. He would say treat them as you would have wanted them to treat you if you were in their position. By the grace of God I have never ever mistreated/misused them and insha Allah never will.
Peace.

In the middle ages and earlier when slavery was a common social culture almost everywhere in the world, captives (both men and women) taken by victorious soldiers were the same as slaves.But nowadays since the social culture has changed and slavery has been abolished, therefore army captives are referred to as prisoners of war. And civilian captives are simply referred to as "suspects" or "collaborators" as we've seen so much of it in Iraq. However, apparently human habits die hard. The number of male and female captives in Iraq who have been sexually assaulted in prisons and elsewhere by American troops is astonishing. And worst of all, because of the primitive and ignorant culture of the society, females who have been physically violated are today not allowed to speak up by their families for the purpose of "preserving family honour." Needless to mention, this primitive 'protocol' suits the American occupiers perfectly well .. and as a result, these 21st century "champions of freedom" violate their captives as much as they like.
The passage of time changes the facade but not the human temperament .. so lets not consider ourselves lucky by thinking that we are living in a better world.
Not to mention the dark and sordid culture of modern sex trade & trafficking particularly widespread in countries like western & eastern Europe, Ukraine, North America, Latin America and South-east Asia. To say the least, women duped and trapped into these organizations by their owners and pimps are treated far worse than the slaves of the middle ages.

well the bottom line is ...sex is allowed with slave. Thats what all these discussions are summarizing..............giving all these reason of time, culture and whatever are just an excuses to make it sound ok!!..lol
when the traditional muslims do it ..its all legal and tons of reasons are given to justify it...but when so called infidels do it...Its immoral, its shameless, lowering women dignity and what not titles are given..!!... I am just sick of it........Its all hypocrisy.
