Summary
Malik says: the agreed practice among us is that whoever borrows an animal of a known description and attributes, there is no harm in it, and he must return its like. But in the case of slave-girls, there is fear of it becoming a means to make lawful what is not lawful, so it is not proper. The explanation of what is disliked is that a man borrows a slave-girl and has intercourse with her as he pleases, then returns her to her owner as she was. That is not proper or lawful, and the scholars have always forbidden it, and never permitted it for anyone. 1
