It's even more absurd when you consider that Muslim wives are cursed by the angels all night when they refuse to have sex with their husbands, yet he wants us to believe the slave girl can do so all fine and dandy!![]()

Please show me where it says that in the hadith you quoted!He raped her though...
ASK YOURSELF: why did he feel guilty if he had consensual sex with his maidservant? It's permissible to do that.Please show me where it says that in the hadith you quoted!
1. The first extract from Imam Malik is not addressing a person who owns a slave and forces himself on his own slave, but rather the quote is regarding a person who rapes a slave that doesn't belong to him.In our view the man who rapes a woman, regardless of whether she is a virgin or not, if she is a free woman he must pay a "dowry" like that of her peers, and if she is a slave he must pay whatever has been detracted from her value. The punishment is to be carried out on the rapist and there is no punishment for the woman who has been raped, whatever the case. (Imam Maalik, Al-Muwatta', Volume 2, page 734)
"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." (Imam Al Shaafi'i, Kitaabul Umm, Volume 3, page 253)
i'll be honest, i cant really say as a.) i'm not a woman and b.) im so far removed from that era and indeed any era of slavery to have any kind of real insight on thatSo what if it mentions wives? Your whole thinking is disordered. You're misusing logic in a way I've seen only one other user misuse it, and you're making stuff up.
Please explain to me how a slave can give consent to sex with her master.
And know that the school of thought of Al Shafi'i and who agreed with him from amongst the scholars have stated that the idol worshipper and those whom have no religious book cannot be approached for sexual intercourse unless they convert to Islam first. As long as they are following their religion they are forbidden to approach. These slave girls (i.e. in the particular narration) are idol worshippers. This hadith and whatever resembles it must be interpreted as implying that the slave girls accepted Islam. There is no other choice but to interpret the hadiths this way and Allah knows best.

Several things wrong with this. You're operating with the assumption that Islam is consistent. No one believes that except Muslims like yourself. So you're already off base, and any conclusions you may draw are inherently invalid. Secondly, the second premise (yes, it's a premise despite you not labelling it as such, mostly because your knowledge of logic obviously lacks foundation) is questionable because whether raping slaves is considered a mistreatment at all in Islam is already under question. Not to mention that the first premise itself is stupid because slavery is itself a mistreatment. Your attempts to use logic are futile, and don't make any sense at all.Premise: it’s forbidden to mistreat a servant
Rape is a form of mistreatment.
Therefore, rape is not permissible.
Pure deductive reasoning. Like really, you can't go wrong with that.![]()

I'm pretty sure I said 'raping slaves'. It appears now you've lost the ability to read as well.If rape wasn't considered mistreatment in Islam, it would be permissible for a husband to rape his wife
Mistreatment is mistreatment.I'm pretty sure I said 'raping slaves'. It appears now you've lost the ability to read as well.
I don't know. I'm not going to try and speculate. But it definitely doesn't say what you expect us to believe it says.ASK YOURSELF: why did he feel guilty if he had consensual sex with his maidservant? It's permissible to do that.
This was during the reign of Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA).
People have been having consensual sex with their maidservants since the time of the Prophet (SAW). It’s permitted in the Qur’an.
Nah you're definitely trolling me
The words are clear. He "felt guilty"... Why would a Muslim feel guilty for something that's permissible?I don't know. I'm not going to try and speculate. But it definitely doesn't say what you expect us to believe it says.
i'll be honest, i cant really say as a.) i'm not a woman and b.) im so far removed from that era and indeed any era of slavery to have any kind of real insight on that
i remember reading that in ancient times women would even dress up during a battle in hopes of attracting the 'heroes' of the opposing side in case their husbands were slain, it was part of life i guess...i'll try to find sources on that for u if u want. but we gotta take off our 21st century glasses when examining these things. i dont think it's a good idea to make blanket assumptions using our modern biases when looking at social situations from ancient times
but what i can do is analyze the various texts and rulings surrounding the issue. for example, a Muslim cannot have sexual relations with a slave while she still holds onto her non-Islamic/polytheistic faith, ie: they have to wait for her to accept Islam first, and there is no literature out there to my knowledge that condones the forceful conversion of captured slaves.
Imam Nawawi
also according to the major scholars of Islam, the slave master who rapes his slave is to be punished:
Imam Malik
Imam Shafi'i
so if u cant force them to convert so u can have sex with them, and even if u do forcefully have sex with them u will likely be stoned...i can deduce that it probably isnt okay to rape your slave. now, i'm not saying my analysis is right here...but its a hell of a lot more nuanced than looking at a verse that doesnt even address consent and conclude that it condones rape on the assumption that there was no way for women in ancient arabia to consent to their captors
1. The first extract from Imam Malik is not addressing a person who owns a slave and forces himself on his own slave, but rather the quote is regarding a person who rapes a slave that doesn't belong to him.
2. The second extract from Imam Shafici is regarding a person who illegally acquires a slave girl(i.e stole her), and then has sexual intercourse with her. Doesn't have anything to do with forcing yourself on your own slave.
Nonsense. What I said was that it's: "questionable because whether raping slaves is considered a mistreatment at all in Islam is already under question." Clearly talking about rape when it comes to slaves, not rape in general. Have you lost the plot or something? This is hilarious!Mistreatment is mistreatment.
You were talking about whether rape is considered mistreatment in Islam.

As I said, show me the evidence that he raped her. Don't hide behind speculations.The words are clear. He "felt guilty"... Why would a Muslim feel guilty for something that's permissible?![]()
Yh ok. He felt guilty for engaging in a permissible act.As I said, show me the evidence that he raped her. Don't hide behind speculations.
i stand corrected on the second one. pretty sure Imam Malik is referring to the rape of any woman there, which is why he includes both free and captured women. the only difference is the amount of money paid, which shows that rape is forbidden no matter who it is-quotes-
Yeah, let's use pseudo-psychological readings to interpret hadiths. You're not very bright, are you?Yh ok. He felt guilty for engaging in a permissible act.

I've omitted an important part of that hadith; I'll highlight it below:Yeah, let's use pseudo-psychological readings to interpret hadiths. You're not very bright, are you?
