What is the ruling if a female slave (*jariyah*) is usurped but not sexually possessed, though the time allowing such possession has passed?

Primary text

The usurper is not liable for the *mahr* (dower) equivalent because the usufruct of the pudenda (*buḍ'*) is only consumed upon actual sexual intercourse, unlike other forms of usufruct. Additionally, the usufruct of the pudenda is not quantified by time, so the mere passing of time does not equate to its consumption or destruction.
