let those who do not find the means to marry be abstinent until allah enriches them of his bounty. those your right hand owns who seek their freedom make a contract with them accordingly if you know some good in them and give them from the wealth of allah that he has given you. do not force your slavegirls into prostitution in order to seek worldly gain for they wish to preserve their chastity. whosoever compels them surely allah after their being compelled is the forgiver the most merciful.
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
