4.25

وَ مَنْ لَّمْ یَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا اَنْ یَّنْكِحَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ فَمِنْ مَّا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ مِّنْ فَتَیٰتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِاِیْمَانِكُمْؕ-بَعْضُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْضٍۚ-فَانْكِحُوْهُنَّ بِاِذْنِ اَهْلِهِنَّ وَ اٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ مُحْصَنٰتٍ غَیْرَ مُسٰفِحٰتٍ وَّ لَا مُتَّخِذٰتِ اَخْدَانٍۚ-فَاِذَاۤ اُحْصِنَّ فَاِنْ اَتَیْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَیْهِنَّ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى الْمُحْصَنٰتِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِؕ-ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِیَ الْعَنَتَ مِنْكُمْؕ-وَ اَنْ تَصْبِرُوْا خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠ (25)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

But if any one of you cannot afford to marry a free Muslim woman, he can marry the Muslim maidservants in his ownership[1] —and Allah knows all about your faith. You are alike among yourselves. So, marry them with the consent of their masters and give them their bridal gifts with courtesy while they are willing to marry, not those (women) whofornicate nor those who make friends in secret (illicit relations). Then, when they are married, if they commit indecency, then they are given half the punishment of free women.[2] This is for those of you who fear ˹falling into˺ fornication. It is better for you to be patient[3]—and Allah is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

Commentary

An individual who is unable to marry a free woman can marry a believing maidservant with the consent of her master. Marriage does not take place with one’s own maidservant as she is lawful for her master without marriage.
