    In Sura Nur:33

    …And force not your maids to prostitution, if they desire chastity, in order that you may make a gain in the (perishable) goods of this worldly life…

    I asked a brother does this mean if a women doesn’t desire chastity prostitution is ok? The brother got up and said let me introduce you to Ibn Kathir.

    Allah has blessed us by sending down the book and preserving it’s meaning. The preservation of the meaning, how Rusullah and the Sahabah understood and acted upon is proof enough.

    (Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; and (others) say they were five, the dog being the sixth, – guessing at the unseen; (yet others) say they were seven, and the dog being the eighth. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): “My Lord knows best their number; none knows them but a few.” So debate not (about their number) except with the clear proof (which We have revealed to you). And consult not any of them (people of the Scripture – Jews and Christians) about (the affair of) the people of the Cave.
