Ruling on Intercourse with Pregnant Captive Slave-Women in Islam

◈ Intercourse with Captive Pregnant Slave-Women ◈
✍️ Authored by: Imran Ayyub Lahori



❖ Prohibition of Intercourse Before Childbirth with Pregnant Captive Slave-Women​


It is forbidden to have intercourse with captive slave-women who are pregnant before they give birth. This is based on the Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ:


أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نهى أن توطأ السبايا حتى يضعن ما فى بطونهن
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited having intercourse with captive women until they deliver what is in their wombs."

Imam Malik رحمه الله, the Hanafis, the Shafi'is, Imam al-Thawri رحمه الله, and al-Nakha'i رحمه الله.
