The Ruling on Slavery in Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What is the ruling on slavery in Islam, and has it been abrogated?

Answer:
Slavery in Islam is among the rulings of jihad; it is a consequence of jihad in the path of Allah. When the Muslims take control and defeat the disbelievers, and they take possession of their women and children, the women and children are not killed but are enslaved. This remains in effect until the Hour stands, as long as there is jihad in the path of Allah. Yes.
