According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or the captives whom their right hands possess, for in their case they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)
The rape of captive women is also sanctioned in Islamic tradition:
Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Sahih Muslim 3371)
It is also in Islamic law: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” (Umdat al-Salik O9.13)
The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,” and that meant Muslims would take slaves. In a subsequent interview he elaborated:
Jihad is only between Muslims and infidels. Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars—there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.
When a slave market is erected, which is a market in which are sold slaves and sex-slaves, which are called in the Qur’an by the name milk al-yamin, “that which your right hands possess” [Koran 4:24]. This is a verse from the Qur’an which is still in force, and has not been abrogated. The milk al-yamin are the sex-slaves. You go to the market, look at the sex-slave, and buy her. She becomes like your wife, (but) she doesn’t need a (marriage) contract or a divorce like a free woman, nor does she need a wali. All scholars agree on this point—there is no disagreement from any of them. […] When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her.
Around the same time, on May 25, 2011, a female Kuwaiti politician, Salwa al-Mutairi, also spoke out in favor of the Islamic practice of sexual slavery of non-Muslim women, emphasizing that the practice accorded with Islamic law and the parameters of Islamic morality.
A merchant told me that he would like to have a sex slave. He said he would not be negligent with her, and that Islam permitted this sort of thing. He was speaking the truth. I brought up [this man’s] situation to the muftis in Mecca. I told them that I had a question, since they were men who specialized in what was halal, and what was good, and who loved women. I said, “What is the law of sex slaves?”
The mufti said, “With the law of sex slaves, there must be a Muslim nation at war with a Christian nation, or a nation which is not of the religion, not of the religion of Islam. And there must be prisoners of war.”
“Is this forbidden by Islam?” I asked.
“Absolutely not. Sex slaves are not forbidden by Islam. On the contrary, sex slaves are under a different law than the free woman. The free woman must be completely covered except for her face and hands. But the sex slave can be naked from the waist up. She differs a lot from the free woman. While the free woman requires a marriage contract, the sex slave does not—she only needs to be purchased by her husband, and that’s it. Therefore the sex slave is different than the free woman.”
In January 2016, a female al-Azhar professor stated that Allah allowed Muslims to rape non-Muslim women in order to humiliate them.
The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction. And that sanction must be discussed if anything effective is ever going to be done to end this abuse.
“Housewife Arrested For Taking Daughters, Other Girls To Bandits For Sex,” Sahara Reporters, January 9, 2022:
Ahouse wife [sic], Maryam Abubakar, who allegedly supplies women to bandits at Galadimawa Forest in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has been arrested.
Maryam, who was arrested by the Intelligence Response Team, a special police unit fighting kidnapping, confessed that she had been luring women including her own daughters and nieces to the bandits for sexual pleasure.
Maryam, a resident of Rugar Hanwa in Sabon Gari Local Government Area, who was arrested on December 21, said her clients were paying her N20,000 and that the women were being ferried to the forest on motorbikes.
However, another person also arrested for supplying women to the bandits was a girl identified as Fatima Jibril.
She connives with her boyfriend, Muslim Abubakar, to carry out the illicit activity.
The suspect was exposed when the girls they had earlier procured for the criminals in the forest didn’t return.
Another woman, Jummai Ibrahim, was also arrested on the suspicion that she had been engaging in an affair with the bandits’ kingpin in the forest.
“I submitted myself to the bandits’ kingpin to protect my children and my father from their wrath because the bandits threatened to kill them, even after they had rustled the family’s cattle,” Ibrahim claimed.
Some of the women, who said they had passed the night only once with the bandits, noted that the gunmen were living alongside their wives, only that they are hosted at different location separate from their families.

Ah, a clear example of motherly love, Muslim style. islam creates inhuman monsters in great numbers and this scumbag is an example of that all too common situation. Islam seems to instruct Muslim parents to treat their daughters like crap and this mother is following those instructions. There’s no sign of love in islam in many cases, that’s for sure.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Tim.
tim gallagher says
Yes, it’s atrocious behaviour from a mother towards her daughters. Far from the loving and nurturing attitude we expect from mothers towards their daughters. That’s islam though. There is so much that is inhumane in islam’s view of life and human relations. It’s an ideology created by a bunch of sickos or, maybe, just primitive knuckle draggers.
gravenimage says
Yes, this *is* Islam. You find Muslimahs engaged in genitally mutilating their daughters, in marrying them off as children and other forced marriages, and luring them back to be “Honor Killed”.
There is no love in Islam–nto even mother love.

TEMPORARY MARRIAGES (also called ‘muta’ marriages … i.e. marriage ‘for pleasure’) are HALAL (permitted) in Islam. A mullah is not even required to certify this ‘Islamic union’. It need only be for a few hours. Though called various terms, the ‘muta’ marriage is accepted in both Shi’ite and Sunnite Islam. The legitimate, legal wife need not learn about the hour-long ‘muta’ marriage. It is virtually indistinguishable from prostitution, but it is religiously correct … it is ‘HALAL’.
The weird and preposterous thing about the origin of ‘muta’ marriage is that the rule permitting ‘muta’ was abrogated TWICE. At first, Mohammed gave his divine permission; later Mohammed felt it was ‘abrogated’. Finally, Mohammed went on another campaign and his jihadis asked for this practice again. Mohammed and ‘Allah’ jointly agreed to restore. Unfortunately, this degrading practice continues in effect for Muslim male cheaters today. They pretend they are not adulterers.
gravenimage says
Yep.
mortimer says
This woman acted as a pimp. The Islamic Stockholm syndrome in her must be very strong, or else she is simply after the money she gets from pimping.
This woman is yet another example of how Islam twists the thinking of Muslim women to the point they are prepared to hurt other women in the name of Islam and destroy their lives. Totally sick what Islam does to women, turning them into thoughtless zombies.
gravenimage says
She probably figured pimping women–including her own daughters and nieces–was the best way for her to support Jihad.
mortimer says
Islam DOES NOT ‘honor’ women as claimed. ‘Muta’ marriage does NOT ‘honor’ women. Polygamy does NOT ‘honor’ women. Forced child marriage does NOT ‘honor’ women.
Infidel says
The news in this story is her actually being arrested in the increasingly islamizing Nigeria. I wonder at what point will Nigeria be a complete win for the jihadis, given that Boko Haram is already ‘diversifying’ into Cameroon and the Congos

Nigeria: Muslima arrested for luring women including her own daughters and nieces to jihadis for sex
……….
Hideous, but this should not surprise. Many of the sex slaves in the Islamic State noted that they were enslaved and turned over to Muslims for sex with the full cooperation of the Muslim’s wives and mothers and other female relatives. Sometimes it was even instigated by them.
And the same is often true when the victims are other Muslims–after all, Abu Bakr, Muhammed’s right-hand man, turned his own young child Aisha over to him to be raped.
Just surprised that she would be arrested for this in the Islamic north of Nigeria in Kaduna state, which has imposed Shari’ah law.

As I recall, nikah mutah (temporary pleasure marriage) was first instituted while Muhammad’s companions were complaining about not having their wives (or a tilth to plow however they chose) during warfare and asked if they should “castrate” themselves. Instead of saying “that is ridiculous, you can stand a few days without sex” Muhammad came up with temporary marriage.
The article stated that these “bandits” had their families nearby. So, what was their excuse for needing a substitute tilth to plow?
Dr. David Wood debated a Muslim medical doctor from India and brought up the various immoral acts permitted by Islam. The doctors only excuse (used over and over) was that Allah allowed it so it must be good.
