The Quran addresses the topic of concubines using the term "ما ملكت أيمانكم" (those whom your right hands possess), which refers to female slaves or captives. Several verses mention this category in the context of marriage, sexual relations, and social rights: In Surah An-Nisa (4:3), the Quran says: ﴾وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا فَوَاحِدَةً أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ﴿ ("...but if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry] only one or those whom your right hands possess...") Al-qawāʿid al-fiqhiyya ʿinda al-Ibā.... In Surah An-Nisa (4:24), the verse states: ﴾وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ﴿ ("And [forbidden to you are] married women except those whom your right hands possess...") Al-qawāʿid al-fiqhiyya ʿinda al-Ibā.... In Surah An-Nisa (4:25), the Quran allows marriage to believing slave women: ﴾وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا أَنْ يَنْكِحَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فَمِنْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ مِنْ فَتَيَاتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ﴿ ("And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave women...") Al-qawāʿid al-fiqhiyya ʿinda al-Ibā.... In Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:5-6): ﴾وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ﴿ ("And those who guard their private parts except from their wives or those whom their right hands possess...") Al-qawāʿid al-fiqhiyya ʿinda al-Ibā.... In Surah Al-Ahzab (33:50): ﴾وَمَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ﴿ ("...and those whom your right hand possesses from what Allah has given you as booty...") Marāḥ Labīd li-kashf maʿnā al-Qurʾā.... These verses establish the legal and social framework regarding concubines (female slaves) in the Quranic context, always using the phrase "ما ملكت أيمانكم" rather than a direct term for "concubine" Al-qawāʿid al-fiqhiyya ʿinda al-Ibā...
