Question:
Is it permissible to enslave the disbelieving Arabs?
Answer:
They should be encouraged to reform and enter Islam so that they are not enslaved; otherwise, the Companions enslaved the Banu Hanifah, and there is no blame on them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a slave girl in the presence of A'ishah:Sahih al-Bukhari 4366 There is no harm.
And he said:Sahih Muslim 2693.
So the Arabs are enslaved through the lawful means if they are disbelievers.

told her to manumit her as she was from the descendants of (the Prophet) Ishmael
أعْتِقيها فإنها من ولد إسماعيلAnd he said:
like one who emancipated four slaves from the progeny of Isma'il
كمن أعتق أربعة أنفس من ولد إسماعيلSo the Arabs are enslaved through the lawful means if they are disbelievers.
