and let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste until allah enriches them of his bounty. and such of your servants as seek a writing give them such writing if you find that there is good and honesty in them. and give them something out of the wealth of allah which he has bestowed upon you. and force not your slavegirls to prostitution if they desire chastity in order that you may make a gain in the goods of this worldly life. but if anyone compels them then after such compulsion allah is oftforgiving 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
