33. And let those who have no means to marry restrain themselves [80] until Allah provides them from His Bounty [81]. And from among your servants and handmaids, those who wish that you should write [82] for them freedom on the condition that they may earn some wealth, then write it for them if you know some good in them [83], and help them out of the wealth of Allah which He has given to you [84]. And force not your maids to prostitution when they desire to live in chastity in order that you may gain some goods of this worldly life [85]. And whoever forces them, then indeed, Allah, after their compulsion, is Forgiving, Merciful [86].
