Thanks for the sources. They are useful for verifiability, but they can't establish notability for "sexual slavery in Islam [for all time]", as each of the sources is focused on a particular region and time period.VR _talk 14:26, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Pathawi, You removed this sentence but it has been added and accepted at Rape_in_Islamic_law#Consent_of_slaves, so why should it not be acceptable here at History of concubinage in the Muslim world? Copying a sentence from another article is allowed!-1Firang (talk) 03:16, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Will you let me link the term "non-Muslim" to the Kafir article if I cite the source used in the Kafir article which says that Kafir means "non-Muslim" too?-1Firang (talk) 03:21, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Why do you want to add the term kāfir? The point of the cited source is that only non-Muslims could be enslaved. That term is comparatively clear. You want to use a term that is not in the source and which is open to interpretation. By one very common understanding, People of the Book are not kuffār. Yet people who were definitely among People of the Book—Jews & Christians—were considered acceptable slaves in the historical contexts the sources address. (&, of course, there's one stream within Islam in which other Muslims are regularly subjected to takfīr.) There's not benefit to linking to this term & it introduces unclarity that's not in the source. Pathawi (talk) 04:46, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Copying sentences from other articles is actually a little tricky, & that's really not what's at question. It is unacceptable for reasons discussed at Rape in Islamic law and which led to your getting an administrative warning, and which I included in the edit summary here. Pathawi (talk) 04:40, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Marrying a slave off isn't concubinage, that's just marrying off a slave. History of slavery in the Muslim world more generally is a separate article. This article here is highly specific to the institution of concubinage. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:11, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

According to the primary sources I posted a link to above, the Quran says, "... lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war".-2406:7400:98:1D35:E838:AB27:3E93:5CDE (talk) 04:43, 21 September 2023 (UTC) Blocked sock.

Lower down in that article, a secondary source, Kecia Ali says, "Her master's right of possession granted him licit sexual access to her"-2406:7400:98:1D35:E838:AB27:3E93:5CDE (talk) 04:46, 21 September 2023 (UTC) Blocked sock. M.Bitton (talk) 23:12, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

The primary sources in that link like the Quran verses used don't say that consent is ignored it just legalize the relationship between the two which kecia ali confirms.

Response to third opinion request:

The cited source, "Islam and Slavery" is published by Brandeis University and does meet the Wikipedia standard for reliability. The author and publisher are the main aspects to consider when determining the reliability of a source for Wikipedia according to WP:SOURCE. A source is not required to have footnotes to meet the reliability standard. Furthermore, digging deeper and challenging the content of a source that meets reliability based on both author and publisher gets really close to original research which should be avoided per Wikipedia's guidelines as stated in WP:NOR. Regardless, I believe this content is appropriate to include in this article based on the quality of the source and its author. I also think this is helpful content as it more fully explains the relationship between master and concubine. My only caution is to make sure you either paraphrase or use quotation marks when restoring the content. > Rublamb (talk) 14:29, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

But the source in question doesn't provide evidence for such a claim? Neither is it mentioned in the article kecia wrote neither is any proof given from the primary text Barbardo (talk) 03:05, 22 September 2023 (UTC) Sock strike. — Kaalakaa ^(talk) 19:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@Barbardo, You are asking the wrong questions. Is the author reliable? Is the publisher reliable? If the answers are "yes", then this content meets the standard of reliability for inclusion in Wikipedia. An expert does not have to cite sources, although that is one way to determine the reliability of an article that has an author with an unknown background and/or an unfamiliar publisher. When you try to dig deeper, you appear to be conducting original research in an attempt to disprove this source because it does not match your opinions. I am not sure if you saw my earlier comment, but there are numerous scholarly sources that say the same thing in the article Islamic views on concubinage in Wikipedia. Their existence supports my position that the inclusion of the content in question in this article is not undo weight. In fact, given the coverage provided in the other article, it seems more than correct to have a single mention here. The presence of so many other sources on this topic also explains why the author in question is comfortable making a statement in her essay without citations--the information she is expressing appears to be an accepted fact with regard to concubines. I encourage you to read the other Wikipedia article before continuing this unnecessary battle over a single sentence in this article. I found it to provide much clarity with regard to this matter.Rublamb (talk) 15:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Coukd you list these numerous scholars that suggest consent is not needed? My objection is Kecia doesn't list Evidence for her claim in that article Barbardo (talk) 15:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC) Sock strike. — Kaalakaa ^(talk) 19:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@Barbardo: Kecia doesn't have to list evidence (i.e. citations)--she is the expert publishing through a highly credible university. I appreciate your desire to be thoughtful when reviewing content (evidence of a good editor IMO), but you continue to focus on your disagreement with the statements being made, rather than whether or not the author and publisher are reliable. Since there are ample sources in the Wikipedia article (Islamic views on concubinage that discuss the relationship of concubinage to slavery, it becomes clear why Kecia makes her statements regarding consent and also why it is relevant content to include in this article. The interpretation of the power dynamic between a slave and master is well established within academia, with the slave lacking the power to decline service of any type. As with American slavery, I suspect that there are plenty of revisionist historians who wish to temper the reality of Islamic slavery with romantic visions of the master - consubine relationships. Some of these stories are probably true, and it is also possible that the nature of these relationships changed over historical time--something that is perfect to discuss in an article such as History of Cuncubnage in the Muslim World. To me, to deny the inclusion of this content by Kecia is akin to trying to rewrite history, certainly not the type of bias that should be introduced in a Wikipedia article. For what it is worth I try to provide third opinions for topics that I have no expertise so that I can enter the discussion as neutrally as possible. I am a bit uncomfortable with how deep I am into its substance at this point but am doing so because I really want to calm this edit war. I hope my feedback is helpful to you. The only other step I can recommend is to start a new topic on this Talk Page that is to vote on this content and let the majority decide. There is no point in continuing to comment back and forth when all parties solidly believe they are right. And unless someone is actually vandalizing an article, I am really against edit blocks as that is another way of forcing one editor's beliefs over another. Just my opinion; I know others will disagree. Rublamb (talk) 16:34, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 21 September 2023

This article has been extended confirmed edit protected. The third opinion has been given (see above). I therefore request someone to read the above and add this now in the same place: " - the female captives/slaves did not have the right to deny their owners sex,"-2406:7400:98:1D35:6959:5BFB:582F:B985 (talk) 15:02, 21 September 2023 (UTC) 2406:7400:98:1D35:6959:5BFB:582F:B985 (talk) 15:02, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Rublamb: I protected this article due to the dispute above. Reading over the arguments, your opinion, the source, information about the author, etc., I am wondering if this is a WP:UNDUE situation. We need to report consensus opinions from scholars. It is pretty clear that with this particular passage, the author of that book is expressing her own personal interpretation of a primary source, and that opinion may be colored by her main area of work, which is about feminist topics. Are there other sources that also draw the same conclusion? It isn't like she is the only scholar who has ever written about it. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:18, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Anachronist: According to the primary sources I posted a link to above, the Quran says, "... lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war".

Lower down in that article, a secondary source, Kecia Ali says, "Her master's right of possession granted him licit sexual access to her"

We can also paraphrase and use this: "The legal relationship between a master and concubine, which made sexual intercourse lawful, was exclusive to them alone, as if it were a marriage."

This also says that consent is not needed.-2406:7400:98:1D35:7280:E2DE:71C6:E973 (talk) 16:39, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I do not find this to be an example of WP:UNDUE. Nor is this a case of excessive bias. Even if the writer in question is biased by her field of expertise, this article can still be used as a source according to WP:BIASED. WP:BIASED states that it is the Wikipedia article that is supposed to be neutral, not necessarily the reliable sources used. Look at this way, the included content meets all criteria for inclusion. If you think this content is historically wrong, it is on you to find a reliable source that says the opposite (that concubines did have the right to deny sex to their masters). Then, you could expand on this topic within the artice citing the new source or add an explanatory footnote indicating that not all scholars agree or start a discussion on the Talk Page to compare the two sources. However, you are not supposed to remove information that has a reliable source because you don't agree with the scholar/author in question. Rublamb (talk) 17:12, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Rublamb: The thing is, however, that the request is to state someone's personal interpretation in Wikipedia's narrative voice. If she's the only scholar who makes this claim about female captives, then it could be added with attribution in the Wiki prose -- especially if she is equating concubinage with slavery, which to my understanding isn't a mainstream view. BTW the protection level of this article allows you or any other extended-confirmed editor to add this as you see fit. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:28, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

It is not the role of a third opinion editor to make changes to the article, nor is my opinion binding. Rather, a third opinion tries to resolve the existing disagreement, not based on connection to an edit or the article, but based solely on Wikipedia's guidelines. Although it is not my role for find additional sources to counter your aurgument, I will refer you to Islamic views on concubinage, another Wikipedia article that cites a different scholar with the same perspective.

Third opinions are not binding, so there is nothing to "abide by". A third opinion typically provides an alternate viewpoint based on Wikipedia policies, and the those cited by the person who gave the third opinion do support inclusion of this line. Other policies such as WP:UNDUE don't support inclusion. The third opinion did not address the fact that there is no requirement to include a statement just because one source said it. I looked at the passage the author interpreted and found her interpretation to stretch credulity to reach the conclusion she reached. I am also not convinced by Barbado's insistence on "proof" from an unquestionably reliable source. Remember, not every statement made by a reliable source is reliable. If you want more opinions, you can start an RFC. One way to approach this would be to include the statement with attribution to who said it, so it isn't stated in Wikipedia's voice as fact. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:53, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Anachronist: This also says that consent is not needed which is why I cited this and the Brandeis University/Kecia Ali source so that it can be, " - the female captives/slaves did not have the right to deny their owners sex," but if you insist that it should not be in wikipedia's voice, it can be changed to, " - the female captives/slaves did not have the right to deny their owners sex according to Kecia Ali,"-2406:7400:98:1D35:AEC3:3AFF:FE2C:9622 (talk) 07:05, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

That is not a reliable source but a opinion piece. Should I start doing the same now? Kecia in the source gave no primary text proof this the current issue. Barbardo (talk) 13:30, 22 September 2023 (UTC) Sock strike. — Kaalakaa ^(talk) 19:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

If both sources can be cited, it can be, " - the female captives/slaves did not have the right to deny their owners sex according to scholars,"-2406:7400:98:1D35:AEC3:3AFF:FE2C:9622 (talk) 07:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Anachronist: You must now give other extended confirmed editors a green signal to add one of the above (as they may feel that you're against it) or do it yourself.-2406:7400:98:1D35:AEC3:3AFF:FE2C:9622 (talk) 08:09, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

DuncanHill believes that the reference "Brandeis University" should be renamed "Ali 2004" (see this), so perhaps you or the editor who adds that text can rename it.-2406:7400:98:1D35:AEC3:3AFF:FE2C:9622 (talk) 08:53, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Pathawi and @Iskander323 what do you guys suggest you had this same debate a month a go with a banned user by the name of 1Firang who I also have a suspicion that this IP is them since they are both from India and talking about the same topic and have similar mannerism's from looking through 1Firangs edit history.

It sure looks & quacks. I'd request a CheckUser. Pathawi (talk) 13:50, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry I don't what that means could you explain the quack part and explain could you do the check user not sure how to apply for it.

Also could you share your views on this as you did last time as we need a consensus. Barbardo (talk) 14:24, 22 September 2023 (UTC) Sock strike. — Kaalakaa ^(talk) 19:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry. I was using Americanisms & I really oughtn't to have on an international site. ('If it looks like a duck & quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.') The IP editor does indeed seem very similar to 1Firang, & I suspect that your suspicion is right. For health reasons, I am unable to participate in the debate right now. I'm very sorry.

That is fine I'll apply for it. Barbardo (talk) 15:02, 22 September 2023 (UTC) Sock strike. — Kaalakaa ^(talk) 19:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Did you miss the part out where a conensus needs to be reached? Barbardo (talk) 13:38, 22 September 2023 (UTC) Sock strike. — Kaalakaa ^(talk) 19:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Condensing text and adding it to the lead

@Aciram and Kautilya3: I have added 2 sentences to the, "Enslavement" sub-section of the, "Islamic legal positions" section. See this and this diff. If you feel that it can be condensed and added to the lead, please do. I do not think I can do a good job!-Haani40 (talk) 17:18, 21 April 2024 (UTC) Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Souniel Yadav
