- La ley islámica clásica permitía a los hombres tener relaciones sexuales con sus esclavas. La literatura musulmana medieval y los documentos legales muestran que las esclavas cuyo uso principal era para fines sexuales se distinguían en los mercados de aquellas cuyo uso principal era para las tareas domésticas. Se les llamaba "esclavas por placer" o "esclavas para las relaciones sexuales". Muchas esclavas se convirtieron en concubinas de sus dueños y dieron a luz a sus hijos. Otras solo fueron utilizadas para el sexo antes de ser transferidas. La asignación para que los hombres usaran anticonceptivos con esclavas ayudó a frustrar los embarazos no deseados. Las primeras fuentes indican que la esclavitud sexual de las mujeres se consideraba tanto un privilegio masculino como un privilegio para el vencedor sobre el derrotado. El comandante militar musulmán puede elegir entre liberar, rescatar o esclavizar incondicionalmente a los cautivos de guerra. A los hombres se les permitía tener tantas concubinas como pudieran permitirse. Algunos hombres compraron esclavas, mientras que a los soldados musulmanes en las primeras conquistas islámicas se les dieron cautivas como recompensa por su participación militar. Como las esclavas por placer eran típicamente más caros, eran un privilegio para los hombres de élite. (es)
- The history of concubinage in the Muslim world encompassed the practice of a men living with a woman without marriage, where the woman was a slave, though sometimes free. If the concubine gave birth to a child, she attained a higher status known as Umm walad. The sexual exploitation of slaves by their owners was a common practice in the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean societies, and had persisted among the three Abrahamic religions, with distinct legal differences, since antiquity. Islamic law has traditionalist and modern interpretations: the former allowed men to have sexual relations with their female slaves, while most modern Muslims do not consider slave concubinage to be acceptable in the modern world. Concubinage was widely practiced by the Umayyads, Abbasids, Mamluks, Ottomans, Timurids and Mughals. The practice declined with the abolition of slavery. (en)

- Of our women, you did not capture many. Whereas of yours, we have as many as the drops of rain. Indeed, counting them is an endless task. Like a man counting the pigeon's feathers. Your emperors' daughters we herded with our hands, As a hunter herds a desert's deer to his own field. Ask Heraclius about our deeds in your Lands. And other kings of yours who were made to yield. For they can tell you about our troops deployed. And the countless Byzantine women we have enjoyed. (en)
- Female slavery, being a condition necessary to the legality of this coveted indulgence [concubinage], will never be put down, with a willing or hearty co-operation by any Mussalman community. (en)
