According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or the captives whom their right hands possess, for in their case they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)
The rape of captive women is also sanctioned in Islamic tradition:
Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Sahih Muslim 3371)
It is also in Islamic law: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” (Umdat al-Salik O9.13)
The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,” and that meant Muslims would take slaves. In a subsequent interview he elaborated:
Jihad is only between Muslims and infidels. Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars—there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.
When a slave market is erected, which is a market in which are sold slaves and sex-slaves, which are called in the Qur’an by the name milk al-yamin, “that which your right hands possess” [Koran 4:24]. This is a verse from the Qur’an which is still in force, and has not been abrogated. The milk al-yamin are the sex-slaves. You go to the market, look at the sex-slave, and buy her. She becomes like your wife, (but) she doesn’t need a (marriage) contract or a divorce like a free woman, nor does she need a wali. All scholars agree on this point—there is no disagreement from any of them. […] When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her.
Around the same time, on May 25, 2011, a female Kuwaiti politician, Salwa al-Mutairi, also spoke out in favor of the Islamic practice of sexual slavery of non-Muslim women, emphasizing that the practice accorded with Islamic law and the parameters of Islamic morality.
A merchant told me that he would like to have a sex slave. He said he would not be negligent with her, and that Islam permitted this sort of thing. He was speaking the truth. I brought up [this man’s] situation to the muftis in Mecca. I told them that I had a question, since they were men who specialized in what was halal, and what was good, and who loved women. I said, “What is the law of sex slaves?”
The mufti said, “With the law of sex slaves, there must be a Muslim nation at war with a Christian nation, or a nation which is not of the religion, not of the religion of Islam. And there must be prisoners of war.”
“Is this forbidden by Islam?” I asked.
“Absolutely not. Sex slaves are not forbidden by Islam. On the contrary, sex slaves are under a different law than the free woman. The free woman must be completely covered except for her face and hands. But the sex slave can be naked from the waist up. She differs a lot from the free woman. While the free woman requires a marriage contract, the sex slave does not—she only needs to be purchased by her husband, and that’s it. Therefore the sex slave is different than the free woman.”
In January 2016, a female al-Azhar professor stated that Allah allowed Muslims to rape non-Muslim women in order to humiliate them.
The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction. And that sanction must be discussed if anything effective is ever going to be done to end this abuse.
“‘Pick up the girl you want over 12 years,’ Taliban enforces Sharia law in its occupied area,” by Laxman Chaurasiya, News Track, August 7, 2021
Kabul: A fierce war has begun in Afghanistan and the Taliban, the terror group, seems to be weighing heavily on the Afghan government in the cross-border war. With the control of the capitals of two states, the Taliban have enacted Sharia law in the areas under their control and given the freedom to their fighters to take girls and widows older than 12 years of age whenever they want. At the same time, it has come to light that Pakistan is playing a very dirty game in Afghanistan, killing innocent people of Afghanistan and strengthening the Taliban.
With regard to Taliban 2.0, people expected that after more than 20 years of living in caves, at least the Taliban would have learned to respect democracy and give up religious fanaticism. But, looking at the situation in Afghanistan, it seems that the Taliban’s thinking and method are the same as that of the old tribes. The Taliban captured Kabul 25 years ago and now it is reported that the Taliban has completely captured 218 districts in Afghanistan, while the Afghan government has only 120 districts left. Out of them also, there are only 99 districts where elections are held. In a way, the Taliban has become stronger than the Afghan government.
Intelligence reports from Afghanistan to New Delhi said the Taliban has now crossed all limits of atrocities against girls. The Taliban has issued fatwas for girls and widows older than 12 years in Badakhshan, Takhar, and Ghazni provinces. The fatwa says Taliban fighters can voluntarily take girls and widows older than 12 years with them whenever they want….

It’s 2021 and you still have these knuckle dragging leftovers from the human races’ primitive days living in such disgusting ways. Islam is like looking way back in time to people who behave in barely human, unbelievably evil and barbaric ways. It is truly bizarre to see these evil creatures who have not progressed for centuries while most of the human race has made a great deal of progress. That’s Islam, that disgusting invention of some members of the human race. Islam needs to be thrown into history’s rubbish bin where it belongs.
gravenimage says
Hear, hear, Tim.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, gravenimage. That is what i keep thinking about islam. All of Islam, the pedophilia, the honour killings, stoning people to death, and so on, all of it is so primitive and barbaric. And none of the evil crap in islam is ever allowed to be changed. Someone will be commenting here on Jihad Watch in 2040 or 2050 and these primitive life forms, such a these Taliban monsters are, will still be living exactly as they are now, like primitive barbarians.
gravenimage says
All grimly true, Tim. Islam is “perfect” and cannot be changed.
Big Pete says
You bet.
Hoi Polloi says
So appalling that westerners defend them.
Old Horseshoer says
It’s virtue signaling, indoctrinated, white liberals who do most of it, and remember what Winston Churchill said about appeasement. “Appeasement is feeding the crocodile and hoping it eats you last.”
tim gallagher says
Yes, Hoi Polloi, it is unbelievable that anyone would defend these primitive, backward barbarians in any way whatsoever. Everything about the Islamic lifestyle strikes me as being a load of primitive garbage and no people should still be living that lifestyle. Old Horseshoer, I think you are right about the appeasers, disgusting sell out merchants.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Things have changed in the last 20 years.
We’ve seen the ushering in of attack drones that could always have these monsters wondering if they’re next on the list. Then there is always the C-130 gunships that could also keep them on edge. Hopefully, Biden’s handlers will allow the use of these remote weapons of warfare.
gravenimage says
I hope so–but I won’t be holding my breath.
Infidel says
Ain’t that unislamic? I mean, isn’t the cutoff age 9, or actually 6? Why not tell them that they can pick any girl over 5, but not to rape them before their 9th birthday?
BTeboe says
Three is the minimum age.
gravenimage says
The Ayatollah Khomeini said that raping infants is fine–but that if the rapist damages the girl for life that he is supposed to pay for her upkeep:
“A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate. If he penetrates and the child is harmed then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however would not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister.
— Ayatollah Khomeini, Tahrirolvasyleh
God, I hate Islam.
Hoi Polloi says
And rightly so. Hardly a more worthy or deserving target.
gravenimage says
So agree, Hoi Polloi.
gravenimage says
Damn thugs. And these are pious Muslims–all too many, even here, believe that rape and sex slavery are punished instead of being sacralized in Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
Those brutal cruel anti-female despicable ruthless Taliban/ Muslims are most vile, heinous and evil.
Joe Biden only shows that he really understands nothing when he feels that some kind of genuine ,workable, peace treaty can be made with them.
sidney penny says
“The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, UNFORTUNATELY, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction. And that sanction must be discussed if anything effective is ever going to be done to end this abuse.”
This ought to be repeated many times
gravenimage says
+1
Hoi Polloi says
That sanction is the danger and you are right; repetition is vital.
sidney penny says
Many (including Muslims) will say that they ( the Taliban) are not true, authentic Muslims ( eg what they said about ISIS)
PRCS says
And al Qaeda.
And abu Sayaf.
And Wahabbists/Salafists.
On the flip side:
Taliban and al Qaeda”fighters” along with Wahabbists/Salafists say the same thing about less than compliant “moderate” Muslims and, of course, the Ahmadiyya.
Oh, and did I mention the Sunni/Shi’a schism?
Asia. Malik says
To all the non muslms who think they are well versed in ISLAM, your ignorance and arrogance shows your lack of knowledge and comprehension of Islam!
People are fallible but the teachings of Islam are infallble!
gravenimage says
Note that Asia. Malik doesn’t actually bother to say what PRCS and the other Infidels here have gotten wrong.
No surprise there–the “Prophet” Muhammed himself was a pedophile, marrying little Aisha at the age of six, and raping her at nine.
And Muslims all over the world practice pedophilia on the model of the “perfect man”. And it is Islamic clerics who most often defend child marriage. You don’t find the clerics of other faiths doing this.
“Nigeria: Chief Imam of major Islamic society says Islam supports child marriage”

https://jihadwatch.org/2020/09/somalia-bill-introduced-in-parliament-that-would-allow-a-girl-to-be-married-as-young-as-10-years-old
There are many more such horrendous stories. And the same is true of sex slavery.
Notice that Asia. Malik here does not actually say that child rape is wrong.
In fact, if he *really* believed this, he would be telling all of his pedophile coreligionists how they were getting Islam so very, very wrong, instead of pestering the good Infidels here with his Taqiyya.
Hoi Polloi says
With all that is brought to light here, must we ever again tolerate “Not all muslims!!!” as a supposed answer when speaking about the war of terror against the kuffar? With its teachings, practices, adherents, and “holy men,” the world contains muslims in more than sufficient numbers to wreak absolute havoc, as they are doing.
Oh, and then there’s its propaganda machine in the US whining about islamofauxbia, declaring terrorists austere religious scholars and devoted family men, and generally serving as misinformation officers.
OLD GUY says
I didn’t know they had a 12 yr. old age limit, I thought it was like 6 yrs.old. Women of the world don’t you know what’s happening to your sisters in these islamic states? Why so silent from the women rights groups? I can’t just blame the women, where is the outrage from men? Or our political leadership?
These young girls are being traded as slaves, SEX SLAVES. And as long as the world turns a blind eye to this it will continue and spread.
PMK says
Pakistan is playing ‘a very dirty game’. They’re Pashtuns aren’t they? Pashtuns are the largest tribe in Afghanistan and they are also over the border in Pakistan. Isn’t the Taliban largely Pashtun? Maybe not all Pashtuns support the Taliban, but have they done anything to stop it? They’ve had twenty years.to do something but they refused. Not even the US can help people who don’t want to be helped.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s totally absurd and unrealistic of Joe Biden and other governmental leftists to feel that a genuine lasting peace agreement can be made with and kept with those cruel savage despicable male chauvinist Taliban pigs.
Walter Sieruk says
After thinking about my last comment in which I referred to the Taliban as “male chauvinist pigs.”
The word “pigs” was good and fitting term to describe the Taliban . Nevertheless the Taliban are so very ,terrible anti-female ,towards both girls and women , that even the word “chauvinist” is too much of a mild word to describe those heinous and vile Muslims misogynists.
Therefore the Taliban may be more appropriately terms “Most hideous malicious , malice- filled , spite-full misogynist monsters.
