Dr. Jonathan Brown discusses this and more in his talk on Slavery in Isla…

Does Islamic Law take a Position on Slave Reparations? - joebradfor…

Princeton theological seminary recently announced that it would be awarding 27 million dollars in scholarships as reparation for its involvement in the history of slavery, although it – as an institution – was not involved in the slave trade itself. The PTSEM was founded in 1812. While it did not own slaves, it did benefit from the slave economy…

Slavery and Rape in Islam - Answered by Shaykh Yūsuf Badāt (Hanafi Fiqh)

https://islamqa.org/hanafi/mathabah/133914/slavery-and-rape-in-islam/

Question:
Recently, I have heard that Islam allows sexual relationships with female slaves and that the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) did this. I have gone farther and did some research and found unpleasant things such as condoning rape. Can you please clarify and explain the statues of female slaves and rape.

Answer:
In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Kind
Jazāk Allāh Khayr/ Thank you for contacting us for your question.
Slavery is detestable and rape is prohibited in Islam.
Slavery existed long before Islam. Slavery was generally a result of wars through prisoners, which was prevalent before the advent of Islam. War is as old as human beings. Islam rather introduced proper etiquette, treatment and behavior with slaves. Concubines was part of this common understanding in the culture of all communities of that time. Islam only allowed cohabitation with free women through a marriage contract and with a concubine through a legal contract wherein rights are secured under the rule of law. Islam put an end to the injustices and ill treatment towards slaves.
Ultimately, Islam encouraged liberating slaves and setting them free, thus abolishing the concept of all forms of slavery. The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) and his Companions are known to have set thousands of slaves free.
And Allāh Knows Best
