Takhrij:
«أخرجه مسلم، الرضاع، باب جواز وطيء المسبية بعد الاِ ستبراء...، حديث:1456.»©Explanation:
➊ From this hadith, it is understood that women who are captured in war may be enjoyed sexually.
However, the condition for this is that one must wait for one menstrual cycle (hayd) for the purpose of ensuring the womb is free (istibra’ al-rahm); if she is not pregnant, then from that time onward, and if she is pregnant, then after she gives birth, intercourse is permissible. It is not necessary for her to be a Muslim.
➋ After the official distribution by the authorities, whichever slave woman comes into one’s share, he may enjoy her in exactly the same manner as he enjoys his own wife.
