Question:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted, says:[An-Nur 24:33] What is the meaning of this?
Answer:
The meaning of this is referring to slave women, because in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), they used to force them into unlawful sexual intercourse (zina) for the sake of earning, to obtain income from them, exposing their private parts, may Allah protect us from that. This was in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, so Allah, Mighty and Majestic, forbade the Muslims from this. Yes.
