25b. Marry
them with the permission of their guardians, and give them their recompense
fairly—to be protected—neither committing adultery, nor taking secret lovers.
When they are married, if they commit adultery, their punishment shall be
half that of free women. That is for those among you who fear falling into
decadence. But to practice self-restraint is better for you. God is Most
Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
By permitting marriage with maids and slave-girls, Islam impeded the sinfulness on one side, while on the other side It determined their grades equal to the free, believing women in the society. Moreover, It puts in the rights of their children equal to the rights of the children of free, believing women on the condition that those children are from the maid’s master. In addition, following conditions have been prescribed for marrying the maids:
1. Permission of wedding is taken from their masters.
2. Give them their dowries as prescribed.
3. The maids should be liker of goodness and chastity (Muh-sanaatun).
4. They should not be fallen into lewdness and debauchery (musaafi-haatun).
5. They must also be not of loose conduct “muttakhi-zaati ‘akh-daan” (secretly loving and beloved).
says, “This is for him among you who fears from committing any sin. And having patience would be better for you”. He also commands, “Then if when they are honorably married, they commit lewdness - they shall become liable to half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that case)”.
