Primary text

Sexual intercourse with a female slave who is the master's mother by nursing, sister, or daughter is forbidden. If intercourse occurs, no Hadd punishment is inflicted upon the master, according to the soundest of two narrations, because she remains his property. However, he is subject to Ta'zir (discretionary punishment). If she gives birth, the child is free, and lineage is established to the master, and she becomes his Umm Walad (mother of his child).
