Ruling on a male slave having intercourse with his female master

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is permissible for a male master to have intercourse with his female slave. Is it permissible for a male slave to have intercourse with his female master with her permission, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
except those your right hands possessإِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ
[Surat al-Nisa: 24]?

Answer:
No, this is abominable. This applies only to men. Allah the Exalted said:
(5) And they who guard their private parts (6) Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ ۝ إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
[Surat al-Mu'minun: 5, 6]. The reference here is to female slaves belonging to their master. That is why he mentioned... The master has the right to have relations with his lawful wife and with his lawful female slave whom he owns through lawful ownership, either by capture in war or by purchasing her from a people whose ownership of her is established. If he purchases her and ensures her purity through one menstrual cycle, it is permissible for him to have relations with her if he has lawful ownership, just as he has relations with his wife.
As for the male slave, no, he does not have the right to have relations with his female master. He does not kiss her, nor does he have intercourse with her. This is abominable by the consensus of the Muslims. He does not have the right to have relations with his female master, neither through intercourse nor otherwise. He only serves her according to her commands, and she is not required to observe hijab in his presence, but he is not a mahram to her.
Allah only permitted her not to observe hijab in his presence because she would be harmed by it, due to the frequency of his entering upon her and serving her. However, she is not lawful for him. He does not kiss her, nor does he have intercourse with her. She is forbidden to him.
