Question:
Aslamualaykum
Dear Shaykh Gibril
There is still one thing about this as I came across some websites which suggest that a slave owner could practise azl on the slave without permission. Is there any truth in this as it would in effect be rape?
Answer:
“Slavery is unlawful (1) in the absence of the Caliph of the Muslims AND (2) unless it results from captives following a lawful war.”
From: “Sex with slaves and women’s rights” by Shaykh Gibril Haddad, and
“A master was no more allowed by the law to rape his slave than a husband his wife.”
From “Sex slaves in Islam” by Shaykh Gibril Haddad.
