A Muslim man is permitted to have up to four wives ({{Quran|4|3}}) and an unlimited number of concubines and slave girls<ref>[http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=33&tid=41951 Tafsir Ibn Kathir - Quran 33:50] (Indeed We know what We have enjoined upon them about their wives) means, `concerning the limiting of their number to four free women, and ''whatever they wish of slave-girls''</ref>. Unmarried men cannot be found guilty of adultery even if they sleep with another man's wife. They can only be found guilty of fornication which does not merit the death penalty in Islam. If an unmarried man sleeps with a married woman, her transgression merits death by stoning but his transgression merits 100 lashes and possible exile for one year ({{Bukhari|3|49|860}}).
