The video was published by the campaign titled “Raqqa slaughters silently”, a concerned advocacy group which reveals news coming out of the Syrian province of Raqqa today Saturday.
The video shows ISIS openly admitting that the establishment of a “slave market” to sell women with one of them saying “Booty market today … today is the market for ‘ “what your right hands possess”.
“What your right hand possess” is strictly the sex trade as one can find from the Quran, the chapter of women 4:3. The ruling of Sharia allows it. (see notes below from Islam Question and Answer)
He adds “today is the day of distribution” as one of the ISIS terrorist begs to be given one as a gift since he could not afford to pay.
With absolute disregard for women the auctioneer says: “Today, each will get his choice. He can sell them or gift them or donate them, he is a free to do whatever he wishes with his share of the booty”.
One of them answers the question about the price of the girl, adding, “…price varies depending if they have blue eyes, the price differs”.
The recording shows what seems like a headquarters with the ISIS flag clearly visible.
It should be noted that the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said last month that the state regulation of non-Muslim, has sold about 300 Yazidi girls for a thousand dollars each.
According to the Observatory published on its official report that the organization “has distributed to its members in Syria during the days and weeks past, about 300 girls and women from the followers of the Yazidi religion, who were abducted in Iraq several weeks ago, and on the basis that they are slaves of the spoils of war from the infidels and in several cases documented by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. ”
The report added, “The members of the organization to sell those abducted to other members is for the sum amount of US $1,000 per female, after being told that they entered Islam, to be married to the fighters of the state in accordance to state regulation of non-Muslim members who have been paid for by money.”
The report pointed out that the observatory “has documented at least 27 cases, of women who have been sold and force married to members of the state according to regulation of non-Muslim in the north-east of Aleppo countryside, Raqqa and Hasaka.”
It states that, despite the proliferation of news and a lot of recordings that appear to establish regulation of markets for “captives”, the organization is still trying to clean its image through the denial of these incidents, counter cross-media campaigns most of which are posted on Twitter, yet this video proves the case.
Two weeks ago, a report by Russia Segudna provided this video clip, via the social networking site Facebook, depicts the reception of a large crowd of Iraqi Yezidis showing two women of the same tribe upon moments of their arrival as runaways from ISIS:
The report stated:
Some women collapsed after the two women crying hysterically, and if they arrived being embraced by the men and women close to them, amid sorrow for the fate of hundreds of detainees with ISIS as slaves, concubines and what they term “f**k wives” which reached a number of Iraqi Yezidis through the slave market for the organization of the Islamic state having been shipped to Syria and Saudi Arabia as the prices rose due to their beauty. Out of 2,000 girls and other Yezidi, have been subjected to rape and sexual violence, citing their relatives and Yezidi human rights activists.
The Yezidis are known in the Middle East as “devil worshipers”. As it turns out, the “devil worshipers” treat their women much better than Islam does.
NOTES
On Islam Question and Answer, one Muslim asked “Could you please clarify for me something that has been troubling me for a while. This concerns the right of a man to have sexual relations with slave girls. Is this so? If it is then is the man allowed to have relations with her as well his wife/wives. Also, is it true that a man can have sexual relations with any number of slave girls and with their own wife/wives also? I have read that Hazrat Ali had 17 slave girls and Hazrat Umar also had many. Surely if a man were allowed this freedom then this could lead to neglecting the wife’s needs. Could you also tell clarify wether the wife has got any say in this matter.
Praise be to Allaah.”
Answer: Islam allows a man to have intercourse with his slave woman, whether he has a wife or wives or he is not married.
A slave woman with whom a man has intercourse is known as a sariyyah (concubine) from the word sirr, which means marriage.
This is indicated by the Qur’aan and Sunnah, and this was done by the Prophets. Ibraaheem (peace be upon him) took Haajar as a concubine and she bore him Ismaa’eel (may peace be upon them all).
Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also did that, as did the Sahaabah, the righteous and the scholars. The scholars are unanimously agreed on that and it is not permissible for anyone to regard it as haraam or to forbid it. Whoever regards that as haraam is a sinner who is going against the consensus of the scholars.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice”
[al-Nisa’ 4:3] What is meant by “or (slaves) that your right hands possess” is slave women whom you own.And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O Prophet (Muhammad)! Verily, We have made lawful to you your wives, to whom you have paid their Mahr (bridal‑money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), and those (slaves) whom your right hand possesses — whom Allaah has given to you, and the daughters of your ‘Amm (paternal uncles) and the daughters of your ‘Ammaat (paternal aunts) and the daughters of your Khaal (maternal uncles) and the daughters of your Khaalaat (maternal aunts) who migrated (from Makkah) with you, and a believing woman if she offers herself to the Prophet, and the Prophet wishes to marry her a privilege for you only, not for the (rest of) the believers. Indeed We know what We have enjoined upon them about their wives and those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, in order that there should be no difficulty on you. And Allaah is Ever Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”
[al-Ahzaab 33:50]“And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts).
Except from their wives or the (women slaves) whom their right hands possess for (then) they are not blameworthy.
But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers”
[al-Ma’aarij 70:29-31]
Al-Tabari said:
Allaah says, “And those who guard their chastity” i.e., protect their private parts from doing everything that Allaah has forbidden, but they are not to blame if they do not guard their chastity from their wives or from the female slaves whom their rights hands possess.
Tafseer al-Tabari, 29/84
Ibn Katheer said:
Taking a concubine as well as a wife is permissible according to the law of Ibraaheem (peace be upon him). Ibraaheem did that with Haajar, when he took her as a concubine when he was married to Saarah.
Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 1/383
And Ibn Katheer also said:
The phrase “and those (slaves) whom your right hand possesses — whom Allaah has given to you” [al-Ahzaab 33:50] means, it is permissible for you take concubines from among those whom you seized as war booty. He took possession of Safiyyah and Juwayriyah and he freed them and married them; he took possession of Rayhaanah bint Sham’oon al-Nadariyyah and Maariyah al-Qibtiyyah, the mother of his son Ibraaheem (peace be upon them both), and they were among his concubines, may Allaah be pleased with them both.
Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/500
The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is permissible.
Ibn Qudaamah said:
There is no dispute (among the scholars) that it is permissible to take concubines and to have intercourse with one’s slave woman, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts).
Except from their wives or the (women slaves) whom their right hands possess for (then) they are not blameworthy.”
[al-Ma’aarij 70:29-30]Maariyah al-Qibtiyyah was the umm walad (a slave woman who bore her master a child) of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and she was the mother of Ibraaheem, the son of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), of whom he said, “Her son set her free.” Haajar, the mother of Isma’eel (peace be upon him), was the concubine of Ibraaheem the close friend (khaleel) of the Most Merciful (peace be upon him). ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) had a number of slave women who bore him children, to each of whom he left four hundred in his will. ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) had slave women who bore him children, as did many of the Sahaabah. ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn, al-Qaasim ibn Muhammad and Saalim ibn ‘Abd-Allaah were all born from slave mothers
Al-Mughni, 10/441
Al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts).
Except from their wives or the (women slaves) whom their right hands possess for (then) they are not blameworthy.”
[al-Ma’aarij 70:29-30]The Book of Allaah indicates that the sexual relationships that are permitted are only of two types, either marriage or those (women slaves) whom one’s right hand possesses.
Al-Umm, 5/43.
The wife has no right to object to her husband owning female slaves or to his having intercourse with them.
And Allaah knows best.
