those who cannot afford marriage should be continent until allah enriches them out of his grace. as for those who seek an emancipation deal from among your slaves make such a deal with them if you know any good in them and give them out of the wealth of allah which he has given you. do not compel your female slaves to prostitution when they desire to be chaste seeking the transitory wares of the life of this world. should anyone compel them allah will be forgiving and merciful to them following their compulsion.
وليستعفف الذين لا يجدون نكاحا حتى يغنيهم الله من فضله والذين يبتغون الكتاب مما ملكت أيمانكم فكاتبوهم إن علمتم فيهم خيرا وآتوهم من مال الله الذي آتاكم ولا تكرهوا فتياتكم على البغاء إن أردن تحصنا لتبتغوا عرض الحياة الدنيا ومن يكرههن فإن الله من بعد إكراههن غفور رحيم
