The  concept of adultery is totally different from the concept of sex with  slaves. The foundation of the first is simply and only to satisfy lust.  This is not true for either sex in marriage or (the no longer relevant  practice of) sex with slaves. <\/p>\n<div>Wedlock is a contract that is resulted from mutual understanding and agreement of the husband and the wife. <\/div>\n<div>Magic is possible and the Qur&#8217;an has referred to it in a number of places: 2:102, 7:116, 113:4. <\/div>\n<div>There  are people who claim to know special methods to fight magic and I am  not one of them, however I am sure that sincere prayer to the Almighty  and reading his Book, specially the verses that indicate seeking refuge  with Him against evil will help a lot.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-17<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6324\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know prostitution is a sin but can you please tell me then what does it mean by &#8220;Whom your right hand possess?&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>Secondly, what is wedlock?
