Does the Qur'an Allow Sex with Slaves / Concubines ?
To this day in the
so-called "Muslim" world, men have sexual relations with many slaves or
servants despite being married. As with many so-called "authentic"
Islamic teachings, this is another innovation that violates Quranic
teachings.
In the Qur'an, marriage is continuously stressed as the only way for men and women to come together and form a relationship and where sexual activity can take place. This concept is so important, that a worldly punishment for anyone having sex with any other than his or her married spouse is deserving of one-hundred lashes (24:2).
According to the Qur'an, one has to be married to such slaves and cannot have sex without being married to them:
"If any of you who do not have the means to marry free women who are believing, you may marry slave girls who are believers. Allah knows best about your faith; you are all same in that respect. Marry them with their owners permission and give them their gifts (dowries) correctly and courteously as married women, not in fornication or taking them as lovers. When they are married, if they commit adultery they should receive half the punishment of free women. This for those of you who are afraid of committing fornication. But being patient is better for you. Allah is Ever-forgiving, Most Merciful." (Qur'an 4:25)
Therefore, when Allah says:
"Those who guard their chastity, except with their wives/husbands and slaves." (Qur'an 70:29-30)
The slaves have to be legally married according to 4:25.
Note that they are mentioned separately from wives/husbands (free men and women) because they are different with regards to punishment in case of adultery and the dowries the female slaves receive at marriage (as indicated in verse 4:25).
Yet, this Quranic law is ignored by these so-called Muslims when it is clearly there, preferring instead to adapt to the way of life dictated through hearsay. Yet they show themselves, to be followers of the Qur'an. In the name of Allah and Islam, they fornicate and commit adultery!
"When they commit an indecent act (Fahish / فَاحِشَة), they say, "We found our fathers doing it and Allah commanded us to do it too." Say: "Allah does not command indecency (fahshaa / فَحْشَاء), or do you say things about Allah you do not know?" (Qur'an, 7:28)
So called men who show themselves to be knowledgeable, really do not submit to Allah, since they ignore Allah's Book - they only pretend to themselves and others, misguiding other people from Allah's way.
"But there is a sort of

intending, without knowledge, to lead others away from Allah's way, and
to make a mockery of it. These will have a humiliating punishment! And
when Our Verses are recited to such a person, he turns away arrogantly,
as if he had not heard them! as if there were heaviness in his ears!
Give him good news of a painful punishment!" (Qur'an 31:6-7)
"When he learns something from our Verses, he scorns them! Such people will have a humiliating punishment!". (Qur'an 45:9)
