2. What Led to the Battle of Hunayn?
Before going into the details surrounding the women captives and what happened to them. Let us revisit some important details, why the battle of Hunayn occurred.
The battle of Hunayn took place as a result of the league tribes who formed alliances to attack the Muslim community. The tribes of Hawazin and Thaqif (Thakefites) were using Awtas area for the purposes of attacks against the Muslims. Awtas was used as a place for military purposes.
Ibn Sa’d (784 – 845 AD) reports to us:
“THE GHAZWAH OF THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH AGAINST HUNAYN, AND THE SAME WAS THE GHAZWAH OF HAWAZIN
… They (narrators) said: When the Apostle of Allah conquered Makkah, the notables of the Hawazin and the Thaqif moved from one side to the other. They assembled and rose in rebellion. Malik Ibn Awf al-Nasri had brought them together and he was then thirty years old. He ordered them and they brought with them their wealth, their WOMEN FOLK and their children. They MOBILIZED AT AWTAS AND THE SUPPORTERS WERE COMING TO THEM. THEY AGREED ON MARCHING AGAINST THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH.” [2]
This is also reported in Al-Tabari (838 – 923 AD):
“The Prophet had been staying in Mecca during the year of its conquest for only a forth-night when [he received the news that the clans of [Hawazin and Thaqif [were marching against Mecca and] had already encamped at Hunayn intending to fight him. Hunayn is a valley next to Dhu al-Majaz. Both the aforementioned tribes had assembled before [their match] after hearing about the Messenger of God’s departure from Medina, thinking that he was intending [to invade] them. When he learned that he had occupied Mecca, Hawazin marched against him [to Mecca] with their women, children, and possessions. Their leader was Mailk b. Awf from the Banu Nasr. [The clans of] thaqif joined forces with them and encamped at Hunayn intending to fight the Prophet. When the Prophet, still in Mecca, was informed about them he decided to march against them. He met them at Hunayn, and God, the Great and Mighty, inflicted defeat on them. God has mentioned this battle in the Qur’an. Since they HAD MARCHED WITH THEIR WOMEN, children, and flocks, God granted them as booty to His Messenger, who divided the spoils among those Quraysh who had [recently] embraced Islam. … When Malik [b. Awf] DECIDED TO MARCH AGAINST THE MESSENGER OF GOD, he took with his men their possessions, wives, and children. After making camp at AWTAS, the men gathered around him. Among them was Durayd b. al-Simmah, who was carried in a Howdah [Shijar]. As soon as he had encamped he inquired what valley they were in. When he was told that it was Awtas, he said: ‘What a wonderful place for CAVALRY! Neither a rugged hill, nor a soft lowland full of dust. …” [3]
We read that the war was started as a result of these tribes forming to attack the Muslim community. Hence, the only option left for the Muslims was to defend themselves.
Another crucial and important detail in these two reports show that enemies brought their women to aid the men in war. If they were innocent, they would not have come along with their husbands, knowing fully well that they were preparing to attack the Muslim community. Hence, these women were not innocent, their capture was legal.
Even today, in the most democratic countries in the western World, women who aid enemy combatants would be jailed.
2 the big misconception that arises in the mind that the sahaba immediately wantedf to have sex with the captives as soon as they were taken as captives
now often tend to misunderstand those words "reluctant to intercorse" IN THE TEXT OF THE HADITHS
reluctant to intercourse dosen't really means they were ready to jump on women as soon as thhey were taken as captives what they thought that these women even as slaves would be haram but Allah revealed that thses women will be halal
sex before distribution of captives as slaves is considered adultery
In fact anyone were to cohabit with a slave-women before the decision of the leader about them and before their due distribution, he was considered an adulterer and was liable to be punished. Consider the following report;
Khalid sent Dhirar bin al-Azwar in a party and they attacked an area of the tribe of Bani Asad. They captured a pretty woman, Dhirar liked her hence he asked his companions to grant her to him and they did so. He then had sexual intercourse with her, when he completed his mission he felt guilty, and went to Khalid and told him about what he had done. Khalid said: 'I permit her for you and make it lawful to you.' He said: 'No not until you write to Umar (about this)'. (Khalid informed ‘Umar about this) and ‘Umar wrote back that he (i.e. Dhirar) should be stoned (to death). By the time ‘Umar's message reached, Dhirar had died. Khalid said: 'Allah did not want to disgrace Dhirar.’ (Al-Bayhaqi’s Sunan al-Kubra, Dar al-Kotob al-Ilmiyya, Beirut, 2003 vol.9 p.177 Hadith 18222)
3 .rules(from hanafi fiqh)
1 captivity dosen't annuls the marriage at all first off all all the captives are taken to state leader and he decides either to free them with or without ransom or distribute them as slaves
one important point only those prisoners of war whom no one came to ransom and who were neither exchanged are taken as slaves if someone comes to ransome them we have to return them and that exactly what happened
Sahih al-Bukhari:
“Narrated Marwan and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet and they requested him to return their properties and captives. The Prophet stood up and said to them, “I have other people with me in this matter (as you see) and the most beloved statement to me is the true one; you may choose either the properties or the prisoners as I have DELAYED THEIR DISTRIBUTION.” The Prophet had waited for them for more than ten days since his arrival from Ta’if. So, when it became evident to them that the Prophet was not going to return them except one of the two, they said, “WE CHOOSE OUR PRISONERS.” The Prophet got up amongst the people and glorified and praised Allah as He deserved and said, “Then after, these brethren of yours have come to us with repentance, and I SEE IT LOGICAL TO RETURN THEM THE CAPTIVES. So, whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you likes to stick to his share till we recompense him from the very first war booty which Allah will give us, then he can do so (i.e. give up the present captives).” THE PEOPLE UNANIMOUSLY SAID, “WE DO THAT (RETURN THE CAPTIVES) WILLINGLY.” The Prophet said, “We do not know which of you has agreed to it and which have not, so go back and let your leaders forward us your decision.” So, all the people then went back and discussed the matter with their leaders who returned and informed the Prophet that all the people had willingly given their consent to return the captives. This is what has reached us about the captives of Hawazin. Narrated Anas that `Abbas said to the Prophet, “I paid for my ransom and `Aqil’s ransom.” (Sahih al-Bukhari volume 3, Book 46, Hadith 716)
Sahih al-Bukhari:
“Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet they requested him to return their property and their captives. He said to them, “This concerns also other people along with me as you see, and the best statement to me is the true one, so you may choose one of two alternatives; either THE CAPTIVES OR THE PROPERTY AND (I HAVE NOT DISTRIBUTED THE BOOTY FOR) I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.” When the Prophet had returned from Ta’if, he waited for them for more than ten nights. When they came to know that the Prophet would not return except one of the two, they chose their captives. The Prophet then stood up amongst the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as He deserved, and then said, “Then after: These brothers of yours have come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share till we pay him from the very first Fai (i.e. war booty) which Allah will give us, then he can do so.” The people said, “We return (the captives) to them willingly as a favor, O Allah’s Messenger!” The Prophet said, “I do not know who of you has given his consent and who has not; so go back and your leaders may present your decision to me.” The people went away, and their leaders discussed the matter with them, and then came to the Prophet TO TELL HIM THAT ALL OF THEM HAD GIVEN THEIR CONSENT (TO RETURN THE CAPTIVES) WILLINGLY. (Az-Zuhn, the sub-narrator said, “This is what we know about the captives, of Hawazin.”) (Sahih al-Bukhari volume 3, Book 47, Hadith 778)
Sunan Abi Dawud:
“Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The tradition mentioned above (No. 2468) has also been transmitted by Abdullah ibn Budayl through a different chain of narrators in a similar way. This version adds: While he (Umar) was observing i’tikaf (in the sacred mosque), the people uttered (loudly): “Allah is most great.” He said: What is this, Abdullah? He said: THESE ARE THE CAPTIVES OF THE HAWAZIN WHOM THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH HAS SET FREE. He said: This slave-girl too? He sent her along with them.” (Sunan Abi Dawud Book 13, Hadith 2469, Sahih Albani)
Sunan Abi Dawud:
“Marwan and Al Miswar bin Makhramah told that when the deputation of the Hawazin came to the Muslims and asked the Apostle of Allaah to return to them their property, the Apostle of Allaah said to them “with me are those whom you see”. The speech dearest to me is the one which is true, so choose (one of the two) either the captives or the property. They said “WE CHOOSE OUR CAPTIVES. The Apostle of Allaah stood up, extolled Allaah and then said “To proceed, your brethren have come repentant I have considered THAT I SHOULD RETURN THEIR CAPTIVES TO THEM, so let those of you who are willing to release the captives act accordingly, but those who wish to hold on to what they have till we give them some of the first booty Allaah gives us may do so. The people said “We are willing for that (to release their captives), Apostle of Allaah. The Apostle of Allaah said “We cannot distinguish between those of you who have granted that and those who have not, so return till your headmen may tell us about your affair. The people then returned and their headmen spoke to them, then they informed that they were agreeable and had given their permission. (Sunan Abi Dawud Book 14, Hadith 2687, Sahih Albani)

batlle of banu al mustalliq
please understand this one acoording to their TIME
MISCONCEPTION DOES ISLAM PERMITS MUSLIM MEN TO RAPE PRISONERS OF WAR
FROM SAHIH BUKHARI - VOLUME 3, #432:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri that while he was sitting with Allah's messenger we said, "Oh Allah's messenger, we got female captives as our booty, and we are interested in their prices, what is your opinion about coitus interruptus?" The prophet said, "Do you really do that? It is better for you not to do it. No soul that which Allah has destined to exist, but will surely come into existence."
(also refer to Bukhari Vol. 3, #718)
FROM SAHIH BUKHARI - VOLUME 9, #506:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri that during the battle with Bani Al-Mustaliq they (Muslims) captured some females and intended to have sexual relations with them without impregnating them. So they asked the prophet about coitus interruptus. The prophet said, "It is better that you should not do it, for Allah has written whom He is going to create till the Day of Resurrection".
Qaza'a said, "I heard Abu Said saying that the prophet said, "No soul is ordained to be created but Allah will create it.""
(also ref. Bukhari 5:459).
FROM THE HADITH OF THE SUNAN OF ABU DAWUD, VOLUME 2, #2167:
Muhaririz said: "I entered the mosque and saw Abu Said al-Khudri. I sat with him and asked about withdrawing the penis (while having intercourse), Abu Said said: We went out with the Apostle of Allah on the expedition to Banu al-Mustaliq, and took some Arab women captive, and we desired the women, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, and we wanted ransom; so we intended to withdraw the penis (while having intercourse with the slave-women). But we asked ourselves: "Can we draw the penis when the apostle of Allah is among us before asking him about it?" So we asked him about it. He said, "It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born.""
NOW THESE AUTHENTIC HADITHS ARE USED BY MANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGISTS SUCH AS SAM SHEMDU DAVID WATS AND SILLY SILLAS TO PROVE THAT ISLAM CONDONES RAPE OF WAR captives
REALLY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I HAVE GOT REALLY IMP AND DETALILED FACTS ON THIS HADITHS
AS FOLLOWS
1) FIRST OF ALL WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE TIME LINE OF THIS HADITH THIS HADITH IS IN REGARDS TO THE BATTLE OF BANU AL MUSTALLIQ WHICH IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST BATTLE OF ISLAM
2)IN THIS PERIOD MOST OF THE LAWS REGARDING SLAVE WOMEN AND PHYSICAL INTIMACY WITH THEM SUCH AS IDDAH LAW AND WAITING FOR PREGNANT WOMEN TILL SHE GIVES BIRTH WAS NOT REVEALED TO PROPHET MUHMMAD(SAW)
3)WHAT EVER LAW PROPHET MUHMMAD (SAW) RECIEVED WAS A REVEALATION TO HIM FROM ALLAH
4)SO AT THIS TIME MUTTAH(TEMPORARY MARRIAGES WERE NOT FORBIDDEN BY PROPHET (SAW)
5) AND THIS TEMPORARY MARRIAGES WERE ONLY FOR PURPOSE OF SPENDING SEXUAL PLEASURE. SO AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGING IN TEMPORARY SEXUAL WITH SLAVE (CAPTIVE) WAS ALSO NOT PROHIBITED.
5) WHEN PROPHET MUHMMAD (SAW) DIDN'T KNEW ALCOHOL IS BANNED HE NEVER FORBID THEM FROM DRINKING SIMILLARLY HE DIDN'T PROHIBIT THEM FROM ENGAGING IN TEMPORARY SEX.
6) WERE THE SAHABA ABOUT TO RAPE WOMEN ABSOLUTELY NO
(HERE PEOPLE MAY FIND THIS POINT REALLY ODD BUT LET ME TELL U AS I SAID MOST OF THE LAWS REGARDING PHYSICAL INTIMACY WITH CAPTIVE SLAVE WOMAN WAS NOT REVEALED SO IT WAS QUITE NATURAL FOR SAHABA TO WANT TO HAVE SEX DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON THEIRS SITE AS IT WAS NOT REVEALED AND RELY ON THEIR JAHILI SYSTEM)
BECAUSE THE CAPTIVES WERE LEGALLY DISTRIBUTED BY PROPHET.
CONTINUE...
NOW THE REAL STORY COMES NO ONE HAS TO WORRY REGARDING THE WOMEN AGREEING FOR SEX OR NOT
BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BATTLE OF BANU MUSTALLIQ IS THIS
!) IF SOMEONE IS TO READ THE CONTEXT OF THE HADITH THEY WILL REALIZE THAT THE SAHABA INTENDED TO ENGAGE IN SEX TEMPORARILY(OR FOR THE SAKE OF AGRGUEMENT OF ISLAMOPHOBE MIND IT THEIR SAKE NOT MINE CONSIDER RAPE) THEY ACTUALLY NEVER DID AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS THIS
Who was Banu Al-Mustaliq? When Did the Battle Take Place? What Were the Causes Behind It?
1- Banu Al-Mustaliq were a sub-tribe of Khuzaa‘ah and Al-Mustaliq was their forefather. He was Juthaymah bin Sa‘d bin ‘Amr bin Rabee‘ah bin Haarithah bin ‘Amr bin ‘Aamir bin Maa’is-Samaa’.
2- The Date of the Battle
Scholars differ regarding the date of the Battle. Their views may be summed up as follows: Ibn Is’haaq, Khaleefah bin Khayyaat and Ibn Jareer At-Tabari may Allah have mercy upon them said that it took place during the month of Sha‘baan in the 6th year AH. Others, such as Al-Mas‘oodi may Allah have mercy upon him said that it took place during the month of Sha‘baan in the 4th year AH. A third group of the scholars are of the view that it took place during the month of Sha‘baan in the 5th year A.H. Of the earlier scholars who adopted the third view are: Moosa bin ‘Uqbah, Ibn Sa‘d, Ibn Qutaybah, Al-Balaathuri, Ath-Thahabi, Ibn Al-Qayyim, Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalaani and Ibn Katheer may Allah have mercy upon them. Of the modern scholars who adopted this view are: Al-Khudhari Bik and Al-Ghazaali may Allah have mercy upon them and Al-Booti, may Allah preserve him.
Sa‘d bin Mu‘aath, may Allah be pleased with him, died following the Battle of Banu Quraythah, which took place during the month of Thul-Qa‘dah in the 5th year A.H., according to the most preponderant view. This means that the Battle of Banu Al-Mustaliq took place before it.
3- The reasons behind the Ghazwah of Banu Al-Mustaliq
The following are the most important reasons behind this Battle
A- The tribe of Banu Al-Mustaliq supported Quraysh and joined it during the Battle of Uhud against the Muslims. It was among the block of Ahaabeesh tribes who participated in the battle supporting Quraysh.
B- The tribe of Banu Al-Mustaliq governed the main road leading to Makkah. It was a strong barrier that prevented the Muslims from reaching Makkah.
C- News came to the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) that Banu Al-Mustaliq were mobilizing an army to fight him under the leadership of Al-Haarith bin Abi Dhiraar. Having heard about that, the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) set out and met them in one of their watering areas called Al-Muraysee‘ in the direction from Qadeed to the sea coast. The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) made them taste a bitter defeat there.
4- Events of the Battle of Banu Al-Mustaliq
Having learnt about the notorious mobilization of Banu Al-Mustaliq, the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) dispatched Buraydhah bin Al-Husayb Al-Aslami, may Allah be pleased with him, to verify the reports, and he told Banu Al-Mustaliq that he wanted to support them. He stayed with them until he verified their intention, then returned and told the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) and informed him about that.
On a Monday two nights of the month of Sha‘baan, in the 5th year AH., the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) left Madeenah along with 700 fighters and thirty horses and moved towards Banu Al-Mustaliq. Banu Al-Mustaliq had been informed about Islam and invited to embrace it. They had also joined the polytheists in the Battle of Uhud. They were mobilizing allies to fight the Muslims. The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) attacked them while they were heedless and their cattle were watering. He killed their fighters and captured their children. Juwayriyah bint Al-Haarith, may Allah be pleased with her, was among the captives. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
The Marriage of the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) to Juwayriyah bint Al-Haarith, May Allah Be Pleased with Her
The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) distributed the captive women of Banu Al-Mustaliq. Juwayriyah bint Al-Haarith, may Allah be pleased with her, was among the captives and she was a blessing for her people. Let us know about her story from ‘Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her. It was narrated that she said, “When the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) distributed the captive women of Banu Al-Mustaliq, Juwayriyah bint Al-Haarith belonged to the share of Thaabit bin Qays bin Shammaas or one of his cousins. She held a manumission contract with him. She was a beautiful and attractive woman. Anyone who saw her admired her. She came to the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) in order to help her in paying her manumission.”
‘Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with him, continued
By Allah, as soon as I saw her at the door of my room, I hated her. I knew that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) would admire her. She entered to see the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) and said “O Messenger of Allah, I am Juwayriyah bint Al-Haarith bin Abi Dhiraar, the chief of his people. I have been afflicted with an adversity that you know [i.e. that she had become a slave woman after she was a free woman and the first lady of her people]. I belong to the share of Thaabit bin Qays bin Shammaas, or a cousin of his, and I hold a manumission contract with him. Here I am seeking your help for the manumission.” The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) said: “Would you want what is better than this?” She said, “What is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “I shall pay your manumission and marry you.” She agreed, and then the news spread among people.
Thereupon, the Muslims released all Banu Al-Mustaliq’s captives as they had become relatives through the marriage of the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ).
‘Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The marriage of the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) to Juwayriyah, may Allah be pleased with her, was the cause of the setting free of one hundred families of the Banu Al-Mustaliq. I do not know of a woman who was greater in blessing to her people than she was. Following the incident, Al-Haarith bin Abi Dhiraar, Juwayriyah’s father, came to Madeenah with the ransom of his daughter. The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) invited him to embrace Islam, and he did.”
The Battle of Al-Muraysee‘ is considered one of the unique and blessed Battles in Islam. Following that Battle, a whole tribe embraced Islam. The reason behind their conversion to Islam was that the Companions, may Allah be pleased with him, freed and returned the captives that were their shares of the booties. They hated to enslave the relatives of the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ). Due to that communal emancipation and unique generosity, the whole tribe embraced Islam.
The far reaching cause of this historical event was the love that the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, had for the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) honoring him and exalting his great personality. As such, love of the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) gives these fine fruits and produces such unique incidents in history.
There were far reaching aims behind the marriage of the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) to Juwayriyah bint Al-Haarith, may Allah be pleased with her, and these aims were achieved when her people embraced Islam. The conversion of her people to Islam was one of the goals behind that marriage. In this way the number of Muslims increased, and Islam became more exalted; thus the hopes behind that marriage were achieved. Allah The Exalted facilitated the marriage, blessed it and realized the goal behind it, as Juwayriyah, may Allah be pleased with her, as well as her father embraced Islam, and then the whole tribe embraced Islam as well. This marriage resulted in blessing and power for Muslims as well as the material and moral support altogether for Islam and the Muslims.
THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THAT ALL THE CAPTIVES WERE REALEASED NONE OF THE WOMEN WERE INTIMATED AND SOLD OR RANSOMED U SAY AND ALL OF THEM EMBRACEED ISLAM
WHAT FOOLS THEY WERE NO accepted islam after battle(according to islamophobes)
THE FOOLS SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT WHAT RUBBISH HELL THEY ARE DOING
the promise of allah came true
70. “O Prophet! Say to the captives in your hands: ‘If Allah knows any good in your hearts, He will give you better than what has been taken away from you, and He will forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”
later on Allah kept on revealing laws regarding treatment of captives and finally revealed the law of iddah for captive
apart from this read this hadith
MOST OF THE LAWS SPECIALLY IDDAH LAW WAS NOT REVEALED TO PROPHET SO IT WAS QUITE NATURAL FOR THEM TO WANT IN THAT WAY
BUT THE GENEROSITY AND HUMANNESS OF SAHABA CAN BE EASILY WITNESSED IN THE HADITH FOLLOWED WERE THEY RELEASED ALL CAPTIVES.
THEY WERE NOT RAPISTS NEITHER SEX HUNGRY
WELL I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FAMILIES WERE MADE CAPTIVES
INDEED ALLAH KNOWS BEST!!!
CONCLUSIONS:
REASONS I COMPARED THIS SCENERIO WITH MUTAH MARRIAGE
1)THIS WAS JUST A HIGHLY EXCEPTIONAL CASE NO OTHER HADITH EVEN TALKS SELLING OF SLAVE WOMEN THAT TOO AFTER HAVING SEX WITH THEM
2)ISLAM ALLOWS SEX WITH SLAVE GIRL BUT DOSEN'T ALLOWS "USING" THE SLAVE GIRL FOR PHYSICAL PELEASURE.
THIS EXCEPTIONAL CASE RATHER SEEMS CONTRADICTORY THATS WHY I COMPARED WITH MUTAH MARRIAGE.
3)
http://www.letmeturnthetables.com/2012/09/no-rape-slave-women-islam.htmlWILL CLARIFY THE DOUBTS
4)(24:32) Marry those of you that are single, (whether men or women),50 and those of your male and female slaves that are righteous.51,52 If they are poor, Allah will enrich them out of His Bounty.53 Allah is Immensely Resourceful, All-Knowing.
(24:33) Let those who cannot afford to marry keep themselves chaste until Allah enriches them out of His Bounty.54 And write out a deed of manumission for such of your slaves that desire their freedom55 in lieu of payment56 - if you see any good in them57 - and give them out of the wealth that Allah has given you.58 And do not compel your slave-girls to prostitution for the sake of the benefits of worldly life the while they desire to remain chaste.59 And if anyone compels them to prostitution, Allah will be Most Pardoning, Much Merciful (to them) after their subjection to such compulsion.
HERE ALLAH MADE THE DOORS OF FREEDOM OPEN FOR ALL SLAVES AND SLVE GIRLS THAT THEY CAN BE MARRIED AMONG THEMSELVES AND AND WORK THEIR WAY TO ATTAIN FREEDOM.
5)ONE OF THE MOST IMP POINT THAT IDDAH LAW IS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT IN THIS RESPECT AS IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY AVOID THESE SITUATIONS
6)MUTAH MARRIAGE WAS PROHIBITED BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED AS A FORM OF ADULTERY
SIMILARLY USING SLAVE WOMEN ON TEMPORARY BASIS WOULD AGAIN BE AUTOMATICALLY PROHIBITED AND AFTER REVEALATION OF ABOVE QURANIC AYAHS IT IS QUITE CLEAR THAT ISLAM PROHIBITS PROSTITUTING AND USING THE SLAVE WOMEN OF PHYSICAL PLEASURE AND WORDLY GAINS
INDEED ALLAH KNOWS BEST!!!
selling of slaves
regarding selling of slaves it is haraam to sell slaves to those who will for sure mistreat and misbehave with slaves
is rape of slaves allowed still a question?
in the initial period of islam one may say that it might have happened that(although there is no proof whatsover ) that slave girls might be compelled to sex with masters but as islamic law progressed PROPHET MUHMMAD (SWS) EVEN PROHIBITED SLAPPING OF SLAVE GIRLS
The Quran and hadith maintain and order Muslims to be kind and to feed the captives. Not harm them.
“And serve God and do not associate anything with Him and BE GOOD to the parents and to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbour of (your) kin and neighbour who is not of kin, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarer and THOSE WHOM YOUR RIGHT HANDS POSSESS; surely God does not love him who is proud, boastful” – Quran 4:36
The Prophet Muhammed (p) prohibited slapping captives and ordered those who do such to set them free:
Hilal b. Yasaf reported that a person got angry and slapped his slave-girl. Thereupon Suwaid b. Muqarrin said to him: You could find no other part (to slap) but the prominent part of her face. See I was one of the seven sons of Muqarrin, and we had but only one slave-girl. The youngest of us slapped her, and ALLAH’S MESSENGER COMMANDED US TO SET HER FREE. (Sahih Muslim Book 15, Hadith 4082)
Narrated Suwaid bin Muqarrin Al-Muzani: “We were seven brothers without a servant except one, and ONE OF US SLAPPED her, so THE PROPHET ORDERED US TO FREE HER.” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi volume 3, Book 18, Hadith 1542)
If a mere slap was prohibited and the captive was set free, then by default rape which is a much bigger crime is Haram (forbidden) in Islam. It is unthinkable for the Prophet (p) to allow such a heinous crime when he prohibited slapping a captive.
LET US SEE THE CONDUCT OF A NOBLE COMPANION
“…we arrived in Medina. I had not yet disrobed her when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) met me in the street and said: ‘Give me that girl, O Salama!’ I said: ‘Messenger of Allah, she has fascinated me. I had not yet disrobed her.’ The next day, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) again met me in the street, he said: ‘O Salama, give me that girl, May God bless your father.’ I said: ‘She is for you. Messenger of Allah! By Allah! I have not yet disrobed her.’ The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent her to the people of Makkah, and surrendered her as ransom for a number of Muslims who had been kept as prisoners at Makkah.” (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 3299)
Now one can observe that Salama (RA) said that he had not disrobed her when they reached Medina and again when the Holy Prophet (PBUH) met him in the street he told that he had not disrobed her. And even the next day, after the night having passed, when he was again asked for the girl, he testified that he had yet not disrobed her though she fascinated him.
This is enough proof that Salama didn’t forcefully lay with her as it was against the teachings of Islam. Islam does not allow a man to forcefully have sexual intercourse with his slave woman, otherwise no could stop Salama from sleeping with a slave girl who fascinated him.
NOW HOW MANY OF OUR SAHABAS OUR TABIEEN FOLLOWERS OF TABIEEN AND SALAFAY SALIHEEN TOOK THIS AS AN EVIDENCE TO RAPE UR OWN SLAVE IN ISLAM DIDN'T THEYKNEW ABOUT THESE HADITHS
ON CONTRARY HERE WE HAVE FAMOUS SECOND CENTURY SCHOLAR IMAM SHAFI SPEAKING ON THIS MATTER
Moreover, the founder of the Shafi'i madhabs also confirmed that stance:
If a man acquires by force a slave-girl, then has sexual intercourse with her after he acquires her by force, and if he is not excused by ignorance, then the slave-girl will be taken from him, he is required to pay the fine, and he will receive the punishment for illegal sexual intercourse.
— Al-Shafi'i, Kitabul Umm, Vol.3, p.253.
NOW DO THIS ANTI ISLAMICSTS UNDERSTAND ISLAM BETTER THAN IMAM SHAFI
Malik related to me from Nafi that a slave was in charge of the slaves in the khumus and he forced a slave-girl among those slaves against her will and had intercourse with her. Umar ibn al-Khattab had him flogged and banished him, and he did not flog the slave-girl because the slave had forced her.
— Sahih al-Bukhari, 1:85:81,[41]Al-Muwatta, 41 3.15
ONE OF THE MOST IMP POINT
5. Relations with pagan women were prohibited
A further evidence that no sexual relations occurred is the fact that scholars commenting on the hadith in regards to Awtas incident, they say that sexual relation with such women was prohibited. The evidence comes from the Quran. Where men are prohibited from marrying polytheistic women and by default they were forbidden to cohabit with them if they were captives. See further discussion on ‘rape’ claim in reference section [15].
13th-century scholar Abu Zakaria Yahya Ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi (1233 – 1277) comments on the Awtas battle, specifically on the captive women mentioned in Hadith:
“Know that it is the way of Ash-Shafi’e and the scholars who agreed with him that it is UNLAWFUL to have intercourse with the CAPTIVE WOMEN AMONG THE IDOLATERS and other unbelievers who are without a divine scripture UNLESS THEY FIRST EMBRACE ISLAM. They are forbidden to approach as long as they are following their own religion and these captive girls were among the Arab polytheists who worshipped idols. This tradition and others like it imply that the women embraced Islam and this is how they must be interpreted. Allah knows best. (Abu Zakariya al-Nawawi, Sharh Sahih Muslim, 1456)
Another great and respected scholar of Islam from the 13th century, Imam Abu Abdullah al-Qurtubi (1214 – 1273) says similar in regards to polytheistic captive women. That Muslims are prohibited to have relations with:
“In classical Arabic, ‘nikah’ refers to both the marriage contract and sexual intercourse. Since Allah, The Exalted, uses the word ‘nikaah’ in the verse (that means): {And do not make nikaah with polytheistic women until they believe}, it is deemed unlawful for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim (polytheistic) woman or to have intercourse with her by virtue of ownership.” [16]
Al-‘Ayni (d. 855 A.H.) writes:
“The imams with ruling have agreed that it is not permissible to have intercourse with pagan (captive-women),” [17]
Fatawa Alamgiri (17th Century Fatwa):
“A Muslim is NOT to have carnal intercourse with an idolatress or a Magian by right of property (as a master, he is prohibited from having sexual relations with polytheistic women)…” (Fatawa Alamgiri, volume 1, page 398 – 399) [18]
As we have read from these classical scholars, the polytheistic captives captured in Awtas were prohibited for the Muslims to have relations with. Although their care had to be met, by clothing and feeding them, intimacy with them was haram (forbidden).
Sexual intimacy was only deemed permissible with these women if they voluntarily converted to Islam. Forced conversion was Haram (forbidden), as the Quran and scholar of Islam, Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (1292 – 1350 AD) states:
“When God sent His Apostle (p), most of the followers of these religions responded to him and to his successsors, voluntarily and willingly. NOBODY WAS COMPELLED TO DO SO. The Apostle fought only those who fought and waged war against him. He did not fight those who made peace with him, neither did he fight those who were under the pledge of truce. He was obeying the bidding of God Most Sublime were he said:
‘Let there be no compulsion in Religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects Evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks, and God heareth and knowth all things ‘ (al-Baqarah: 256).
The Apostle did not compel anyone to adopt Islam. The above quoted verse from the Qur’an negates compulsion in the sense of prohibition that is: do not compel a soul to embrace the Religion. The verse (Sura) was revealed to admonish some of the men among the companions whose children embraced Judaism and Christianity before the advent of Islam, and where with the advent of Islam, their fathers embraced the religion of Muhammad and attempted to compel their children to follow their lead. God Most Exalted prohibited the fathers from resorting to compulsion to inspire their children to embrace Islam out of their choice. … To him who ponders over the biography of the Prophet (p) it becomes clear that he did not compel anyone to embrace his religion, and that he only fought those who fought him. He did not fight those who made truce with him as long as they kept and honoured the truce. He never broke a promise, for God Most High bid him to fulfil his promises to them as long as they kept theirs.
WHAT ISLAMOPHOBES SAY ABOUT THIS ONE
Thumaamah ibn Athaal – the leader of Bani Haneefah – was brought (to Madeenah) as a prisoner and tied to one of the pillars of the mosque. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to him and said, “What do you think, O Thumaamah?” He said, “What I think, O Muhammad, is good. If you kill me, you will kill one with blood on his hands – i.e., I will deserve to be killed because I have killed Muslims – and if you release me you will release one who will be grateful. If you want money, then ask, and I will give you whatever you want.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) left him for three days, and each day he would come and ask him similar questions, and Thumaamah would give similar answers. After the third day, he commanded that he should be released. Thumaamah went to a stand of date-palms near the mosque where he bathed (did ghusl), then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, “I bear witness that there is no god except Allaah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the slave of Allaah and His Messenger.” Then he said: “O Messenger of Allaah, by Allaah there was no one on earth whose face was more hateful to me than yours, but now your face is the most beloved of all faces to me. By Allaah, there was no religion that was more hateful to me than your religion, but now your religion has become the most beloved of all religions to me. By Allaah, there was no land more hateful to me than your land, but now your land has become the most beloved to me. Your cavalry captured me when I was on my way to perform ‘Umrah, so what do you think I should do?”
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) congratulated him, and told him to go for ‘Umrah. When he came to Makkah, someone asked him, “Have you changed your religion?” He said, “No, but I have submitted with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and by Allaah you will not get a grain of wheat from al-Yamaamah unless the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gives permission.”(TAKEN FROM THE SEALED NECTAR)
