Plusieurs autres versets du Coran mentionnent les relations sexuelles avec des esclaves comme une catégorie distincte des épouses, indiquant clairement que les relations sexuelles avec des femmes esclaves sont autorisées sans épouser l'esclave au préalable. Par exemple, la sourate 23 fait mention des musulmans qui ont réussi et de leurs caractéristiques :
Plusieurs autres versets du Coran mentionnent les relations sexuelles avec des esclaves comme une catégorie distincte des épouses, indiquant clairement que les relations sexuelles avec des femmes esclaves sont autorisées sans épouser l'esclave au préalable. Par exemple, la sourate 23 fait mention des musulmans qui ont réussi et de leurs caractéristiques :


{{Quote|{{Quran|23|1-6}}|Certainly will the believers have succeeded: They who are during their prayer humbly submissive And they who turn away from ill speech And they who are observant of zakah '''And they who guard their private parts Except from their wives or those their right hands possess''', for indeed, they will not be blamed}}
{{Quote|{{Quran|23|1-6}}|Bienheureux sont certes les croyants, ceux qui sont humbles dans leur Salat, qui se détournent des futilités, qui s'acquittent de la Zakat, et '''qui préservent leurs sexes [de tout rapport], si ce n'est qu'avec leurs épouses ou les esclaves qu'ils possèdent , car là vraiment, on ne peut les blâmer;'''}}


The instruction to "guard [one's] private parts" is the Qur'an's standard manner of commanding chastity. What one's "right hand possesses" is likewise the Qur'an's standard manner of referring to one's slaves. Successful believers are those who engage in sexual activities only with their wives and slaves.  
L'instruction de "préserver leurs sexes" est la manière standard du Coran d'ordonner la chasteté. Ce que "la main droite possède" est également la manière standard du Coran de se référer à ses esclaves. Les croyants qui réussissent sont ceux qui se livrent à des activités sexuelles uniquement avec leurs femmes et leurs esclaves.  


The same idea recurs in surah 70:
La même idée revient dans la sourate 70 :{{Quote|{{Quran|70|29-30}}|et qui se maintiennent dans la chasteté et '''n'ont pas de rapports excepté avec leurs épouses ou les esclaves qu'ils possèdent''' car dans ce cas, ils ne sont pas blâmables,}}


{{Quote|{{Quran|70|29-30}}|'''And those who guard their private parts, Except from their wives or those their right hands possess''', for indeed, they are not to be blamed}}
==Le viol dans les hadiths==
 
Les scènes décrivants des compagnons de Mohammed, mais aussi Mohammed lui-même, se livrant à une activité sexuelle avec des esclaves et des captives sont courantes dans toute la littérature des hadiths. Or, on peut remarquer que la perspective féminine est largement absente, laissant le lecteur se demander si la femme esclave ou captive était réceptive aux avances du Messager et de ses compagnons. On ne peut que supposer que dans au moins certains de ces cas (sinon la plupart voire tous), l'activité sexuelle a eu lieu sans le consentement de la femme. Ceci est particulièrement clair dans les exemples qui suivent où les compagnons du Prophète initient un contact sexuel avec les femmes captives peu de temps après avoir tué leurs fils, maris, pères et frères. Elle étaient à l'origine des non-musulmanes libres qui furent capturées au combat.<ref>{{Citation|url=http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/508/1/uk_bl_ethos_443314.pdf|title=The legal and social status of women in the Hadith literature (PDF)|author=Salma Saad|page=242|year=1990}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6MC0DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA17|title=Islamic Jurisprudence on the Regulation of Armed Conflict: Text and Context|author=Nesrine Badawi (1 October 2019). p.17.

==Rape in the hadiths==
Scenes of Muhammad's companions, and indeed Muhammad himself, engaging in sexual activity with slaves and captives are common throughout hadith literature. While the female perspective is largely absent, leaving the reader to speculate as to whether the female slave or captive would have been receptive to the advances of Muhammad and his companions, it is fair to assume that in at least some (if not most or indeed all) of these cases, the sexual activity occurred without the female's consent and thus qualified as rape. This is particularly clear in the examples that follow where Muhammad's companions initiate sexual contact with the captive women shortly after having slayed their sons, husbands, fathers, and brothers. At the very least, it can be said that in no such case does Muhammad intervene in and that in all such cases he actively permits what, by all appearances, is an instance of his companion's raping a captive or slave. These are originally free [[Kafir (Infidel)|non-Muslims]] who are captured in battle.<ref>{{Citation|url=http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/508/1/uk_bl_ethos_443314.pdf|title=The legal and social status of women in the Hadith literature (PDF)|author=Salma Saad|page=242|year=1990}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6MC0DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA17|title=Islamic Jurisprudence on the Regulation of Armed Conflict: Text and Context|author=Nesrine Badawi (1 October 2019). p.17.
