and those who do not have the means to get married must keep chaste till allah provides them the resources by his munificence and the bondwomen in your possession who in order to earn something seek a letter of freedom from you – then write it for them if you consider some goodness in them and help them in their cause with allahs wealth which he has bestowed upon you and do not force your bondwomen into the dirty profession while they wish to save themselves in order to earn some riches of the worldly life and if one forces them then indeed allah upon their remaining compelled is oft forgiving 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
