Responding To: Degradation Of Slave Women In Islam (Not A Question)
Islam did not initiate slavery to prescribe its regulations. It was already there. and the slaves had no right to exercise in the matter of his sale and purchase and in the case of slave girls her consent for physical contact was not sought. Islam just told them to treat them well and set them free. It also stopped making news slaves and introduced the law of makatabat which gives the key of freedom in the hands of slaves. A head of Zakat was allocated for this purpose.
