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 slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), give
them such writing, if you know that they are good and
trustworthy. And give them something yourselves out of the
wealth of Allah which He has bestowed upon you. And force not
your maids to prostitution, if they desire chastity, in order
that you may make a gain in the (perishable) goods of this
worldly life. But if anyone compels them (to prostitution), then
after such compulsion, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to
those women, i.e. He will forgive them because they have been
forced to do this evil action unwillingly)."
(24:33) |
