let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste until allah gives them means out of his grace. and if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing give them such a deed if ye know any good in them yea give them something yourselves out of the means which allah has given to you. but force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. but if anyone compels them yet after such compulsion is allah oftforgiving most merciful we have already sent down to you verses making things clear an illustration from people who passed away before you and an admonition for those who fear .
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 ولقد أنزلنا إليكم آيات مبينات ومثلا من الذين خلوا من قبلكم وموعظة للمتقين
