الحصن جمعه حصون، قال الله تعالى:
قوله تعالى: ﴿والمحصنات من النساء إلا ما ملكت أيمانكم﴾ [النساء: 24] أي: وحرمت عليكم المحصنات ذوات الأزواج إلا ما ملكت أيمانكم بالسبي، فإنهن يحللن لكم ومنه قول الفرزدق: [من الطويل]
Verses 1–6 of 6
Also (prohibited are) Women already married, Except those Whom your right hands possess: Thus hath God ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others Are lawful, provided Ye seek (them in marriage) With gifts from your property,— Desiring chastity, not lust. Seeing that ye derive Benefit from them, give them Their dowers (at least) As prescribed; but if, After a dower is prescribed, ye agree Mutually (to vary it), There is no blame on you, And God is All-knowing All-wise.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:24If any of you have not The means wherewith To wed free believing women, They may wed believing Girls from among those Whom your right hands possess: God hath full knowledge About your Faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave Of their owners, and give them Their dowers, according to what Is reasonable: they should be Chaste, not lustful, nor taking Paramours: when they Are taken in wedlock, If they fall into shame, Their punishment is half That for free women. This (permission) is for those Among you who fear sin; But it is better for you That ye practise self-restraint. And God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:25This day are (all) things Good and pure made lawful Unto you. The food Of the People of the Book Is lawful unto you And yours is lawful Unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) Are (not only) chaste women Who are believers, but Chaste women among The People of the Book, Revealed before your time,— When ye give them Their due dowers, and desire Chastity, not lewdness, Nor secret intrigues. If any one rejects faith, Fruitless is his work, And in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks Of those who have lost (All spiritual good).
Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:5And those who launch A charge against chaste women, And produce not four witnesses (To support their allegations),— Flog them with eighty stripes; And reject their evidence Ever after: for such men Are wicked transgressors;—
Surah An-Nur, verse 24:4Those who slander chaste women, Indiscreet but believing, Are cursed in this life And in the Hereafter: For them is a grievous Penalty,—
Surah An-Nur, verse 24:23They will not fight you (Even) together, except In fortified townships, Or from behind walls. Strong is their fighting (spirit) Amongst themselves: Thou wouldst think They were united, But their hearts are divided: That is because they Are a people devoid Of wisdom.
Surah Al-Hashr, verse 59:14
