And those who cannot afford marriage (for lack of financial means) should adopt chastity until Allah enriches them out of His Bounty. And from among (the male and female slaves) under your control those who seek to write out a deed (of manumission — freedom through earning and paying,) write it for them, and free them (under the given condition) if you see any good in them. Pay them (also yourselves) out of that wealth which Allah has given you (to help them get freedom). And do not force your maids into prostitution if they desire to keep themselves chaste (or wish to safeguard their chastity through marriage). And whoever will compel them, then (even) after they are compelled Allah is Most Forgiving, Ever-Merciful.
