What is the meaning of Allah Almighty’s saying: ((And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity))?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The people of pre-Islamic ignorance (Jahiliyyah) would compel their female slaves to commit adultery and would take a tax from them. When Islam came, Allah forbade that. This noble verse was revealed concerning Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul, who used to force his female slaves into prostitution out of desire for their earnings and their children.
