Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner: If you please, Shaykh, we have two questions.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner: Does a slave woman fall under the ruling of right of possession?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Okay, count her, meaning is she included in the number of four that the Shari'ah has made lawful, or not?
The Shaykh: And you, is the disagreement over the four not enough for you until you bring up the story of slave women who do not exist?
The questioner: But we need to know, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Why do you want to know?
The questioner: We need to know if her ruling is the same as a wife's regarding inheritance, or not, that's all?
The Shaykh: Regarding inheritance?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Now that the word inheritance has come up, no, she has no connection to inheritance.
The questioner: Meaning it is not permissible for her to inherit, meaning?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner: And no matter how many there are?
The Shaykh: So you do not mean inheritance, may Allah increase them, may Allah increase these Muslims?
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How are you, my shaykh?
The Shaykh: Praise be to Allah, good.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The questioner: Excuse me, Shaykh, we just want one question, we are from Libya.
The Shaykh: Yes, ask about what benefits you.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: Are there slave women now?
The questioner: Huh?
The Shaykh: Are there slave women now?
The questioner: No, there are no slave women, if Allah wills!
The Shaykh: Why are you asking about slave women? Ask about free women.
The questioner: O Shaykh, the religion is valid for all times and places.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you, valid for all times and places, yes, but now all the places are occupied by free women, so where are the slave women you are asking about? They are in the unseen world. Ask about what benefits you.
The questioner: May Allah bless you, O Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner: If you please, Shaykh, we have two questions.
