===Men cannot rape female slaves and captives===
===Men can rape female captives even if they have husbands===


It is a unanimous decision by scholars that it is unlawful for men to rape or maltreat their female captives:
{{Quote|{{Abu Dawud|2|2150}}| Abu Sa’id Al Khudri said “The Apostle of Allaah sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of Apostle of Allaah were reluctant to have relations with the female captives because of their pagan husbands. So, Allaah the exalted sent down the Qur’anic verse “And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hand posses.” This is to say that they are lawful for them when they complete their waiting period. [The Quran verse is 4:24]}}
{{Quote|{{Imam Maalik, Al-Muwatta', Volume 2, page 734}}|In our view the man who rapes a woman, regardless of whether she is a virgin or not, if she is a free woman he must pay a "dowry" like that of her peers, and if she is a slave he must pay whatever has been detracted from her value. The punishment is to be carried out on the rapist and there is no punishment for the woman who has been raped, whatever the case.


{{Quote|{{Imam Al Shaafi'i, Kitaabul Umm, Volume 3, page 253}}|"If a man acquires by force a slave-girl, then has sexual intercourse with her after he acquires her by force, and if he is not excused by ignorance, then the slave-girl will be taken from him, he is required to pay the fine, and he will receive the punishment for illegal sexual intercourse."
{{Quote|{{Muslim|8|3432}}|Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that at the Battle of Hunain Allah's Messenger sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them. Having overcome them and taken them captives, '''the Companions of Allah's Messenger seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands''' being polytheists. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that:" '''And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess''' (Quran 4:. 24)" (i. e. they were lawful for them when their 'Idda period came to an end).}}
 
{{Quote|{{Sunan Al Bayhaqi, Volume 2, page 363, Hadith no. 18685}}|Abu al-Hussain bin al-Fadhl al-Qatan narrated from Abdullah bin Jaffar bin Darestweh from Yaqub bin Sufyan from al-Hassab bin Rabee from Abdullah bin al-Mubarak from Kahmas from Harun bin Al-Asam who said: Umar bin al-Khatab may Allah be pleased with him sent Khalid bin al-Walid in an army, hence Khalid sent Dharar bin al-Auwzwar in a squadron and they invaded a district belonging to the tribe of Bani Asad. They then captured a pretty bride, Dharar liked her hence he asked his companions to grant her to him and they did so. He then had sexual intercourse with her, when he completed his mission he felt guilty, and went to Khalid and told him about what he did. Khalid said: 'I permit you and made it lawful to you.' He said: 'No not until you write a message to Umar'. (Then they sent a message to Umar) and Umar answered that he (Dharar) should be stoned. By the time Umar's message was delivered, Dharar was dead. (Khalid) said: 'Allah didn't want to disgrace Dharar'.
Notice that Umar ibn Al Khattab (the second caliph) ordered the man who captured the slave girl and had sex with her to be stoned for this crime, for he took the slave girl unjustly.

{{Quote|Sunan Ibn Maja, Zuhd (Book of Abstinence) 39|Abu Umama narrated: "The Messenger of God said, 'Everyone that God admits into paradise will be married to 72 wives; two of them are houris and seventy of his inheritance of the [female] dwellers of hell. All of them will have '''libidinous sex organs''' and he will have an '''ever-erect penis'''.' "}}

A houri is a most beautiful young woman with a transparent body. The marrow of her bones is visible like the interior lines of pearls and rubies. She looks like red wine in a white glass. She is of white color, and free from the routine physical disabilities of an ordinary woman such as menstruation, menopause, urinal and offal discharge, child bearing and the related pollution. A houri is a girl of tender age, having large breasts which are round (pointed), and not inclined to dangle. Houris dwell in palaces of splendid surroundings.}}

===Masturbating while imagining mother-in-law does not affect marriage===
{{Quote| [https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/324526/masturbating-while-imagining-mother-in-law-does-not-affect-marriage islamweb.net Fatwa No: 324526] |This action has no effect on the marriage bond; the wife is not declared unlawful to the husband because of his looking lustfully at his mother-in-law or having sexual fantasies about her. So he should disregard such doubts about his marriage, but he must repent to Allaah and resolve never to do this again in the future, especially given that his mother-in-law is his mahram (unmarriageable to him), and that masturbation itself is prohibited.}}

===Premarital and extramarital sex lead to enormous punishment===
{{Quote|Kitab Tafsir Surah Najm, p.270; Gunahan-e-Kabira, Vol. 1 p.202 |The fifth Imam has also said, “Whoever commits Fornication with a Muslim, Jew, Christian or Magian woman, whether she is a slave or a free woman; and dies without repenting of his sin, then the Almighty Allah opens Three hundred doors of punishment in his grave. From each door many snakes, scorpions and pythons emerge from the fire and burn and torment him till the Day of Judgement."}}
===Virgins and sex in paradise===
{{Quote|Ayatullah Dastaghaib Shirazi. ''Heart of the Qur'an: A Commentary to Sura al Yasin.'' Ansariyan Publications (Qum). Ayat no. 53-57.| Copulation in this world, besides carrying uncleanness at the time of gratification, also makes people neglectful. But, an intercourse in paradise makes one mindful and aware... A faithful man will enjoy a hundred virgins in a day in paradise and the astonishing fact is that they would again become virgins immediately thereafter.}}
