Summary
Malik says it is not lawful to marry a Jewish or Christian slave-woman. The Qur'an speaks of chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those given the Book, and the free Jewish and Christian women are those; and the Qur'an permits marrying slave-women only for one who cannot afford a free woman, and those slave-women are believers. 1
