In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam allows taking captives only during legitimate wars (Jihad), not by forcefully capturing free people, which is strictly forbidden. Prisoners of war (POWs) can be integrated into society instead of being confined to camps. Relations with such captives are permitted without marriage, but freeing and marrying them is encouraged as a noble act. Selling captives was allowed historically under strict rules but is not applicable today. Forced slavery is strictly prohibited in Islam.
