and whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess and allah has full knowledge about your faith you are one from another. wed them with the permission of their own folk and give them their due in a good manner they should be chaste not fornicators nor promiscuous. and after they have been taken in wedlock if they commit fahishah their punishment is half that for free women. this is for him among you who is afraid of being harmed in his religion or in his body but it is better for you that you practice selfrestraint and allah is oftforgiving most merciful.
ومن لم يستطع منكم طولا أن ينكح المحصنات المؤمنات فمن ما ملكت أيمانكم من فتياتكم المؤمنات والله أعلم بإيمانكم بعضكم من بعض فانكحوهن بإذن أهلهن وآتوهن أجورهن بالمعروف محصنات غير مسافحات ولا متخذات أخدان فإذا أحصن فإن أتين بفاحشة فعليهن نصف ما على المحصنات من العذاب ذلك لمن خشي العنت منكم وأن تصبروا خير لكم والله غفور رحيم
