Fatwa CenterA female slave whom the father enjoyed is forbidden to his son
Question
Assalamualikum My Question is: Quran 4:22 Marry not women whom your father married except what is past- so are the concubines of father also included?? can son inherit the concubines of father in islam?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
On the other hand, if the father had enjoyed his slave woman, then she becomes eternally forbidden for his son, just like the wife whom the father had married, and she [the slave woman] is included in the saying of Allaah (which means): {And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married,…} [Quran 4:22] Ibn Katheer 
said: “The scholars agreed in a consensus that it is forbidden to have intercourse with the woman with whom the father had sexual intercourse by marriage, or by being possessed by his right hand (i.e. his slave woman), or by doubtful marriage as well.”
Allaah Knows best.
