Can the Former Husband Have Relations with a Slave Woman Now in His Ownership?

Hazrat Tawus says that now she is his slave-girl.

Hasan says that now, on the basis of ownership, he can have intercourse with her.

Hazrat Humaid bin Abdur Rahman says that the first verse { وأحل لکم ماوراء ذالکم } made it lawful. The second verse { حتی تنکح زوجا غیرہ } made it unlawful. I neither command you nor forbid you.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib says that due to ownership, he cannot have intercourse with her; if he wishes, he can free her and then marry her. Then he will have the right to only one divorce. This was also the opinion of Hazrat Qatadah.

16907 - And Qatadah used to adhere to it.

It is also narrated in the same way from Hazrat Jabir and Hazrat Abu Salamah.
