Surah 24:33 is one of the irrational statements of the author of the Quran. God supposedly forbids a master from forcing their slave girls into prostitution, but if a Master do force them, God would forgive the sins of the girls who are coerced into it. And why would the Quranic god (named Allah) allow the girls to be forced into prostitution? Because He is All-Forgiving and Most Merciful to them. Allah allowed the girls to be raped by sex buyers, yet He still called Himself Most Merciful. Meanwhile, the master who forced his slave girls into prostitution is not considered to have sinned. This is the kind of righteousness and morality that Allah promotes, and that Muslims are taught to follow.
[Quran 24:33] And let those who do not have the means to marry keep themselves chaste until Allah enriches them out of His bounty. And if any of those ˹bondspeople˺ in your possession desires a deed of emancipation, make it possible for them, if you find goodness in them. And give them some of Allah’s wealth which He has granted you. Do not force your ˹slave˺ girls into prostitution for your own worldly gains while they wish to remain chaste. And if someone coerces them, then after such a coercion Allah is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful ˹to them˺.
[Sunan Ibn Majah 2517] Jabir bin `Abdullah was heard to say: “We used to sell our slave women and the mothers of our children (Umahat Awaldina) when the Prophet was still living among us, and we did not see anything wrong with that.”
[Bulugh al-Maram book 7, hadith 14] Narrated Jabir (RA):We used to sell our slave-women who had borne (our) children while the Prophet was still living, and he saw no harm in that.
[Bukhari Kitabul Qadr 3:543] A man inquired, “We earn income from these bondwomen, (other narratives mention prostitution) so can we do coitus interrupts with them?” The Prophet said, “There is no sin in doing that”
