Regarding relations with slaves

[Faith Hope Charity]

Glory to God, peace on earth, good will to all.


Slavery is wrong. Period. I'm on a mission to put an end to all forms of slavery in all parts of the globe!!!


I read the links provided by Ummm. Thank you!


Personally, I don't believe Mohammad (PBUH) liberated slaves. The end doesn't justify the means. It's not enough for Islam or any religion or nation for that matter (yes Wael - including situations in the Old Testament) to recognize slaves as dignified human beings based on certain conditions.


Anyways, my question is where does Islam stand today in regards to slave girls? The explanation was not very clear. Is it still acceptable for Islamic men to possess them?


Thanks in advance.


I pray that God blesses you & releases all from slavery whether it be sex, labour or sin.
