ISIS fatwa reveals 15 rules for female slaves' 'owners' – from banning sons and fathers from sharing the same woman to outlawing having sex with a mother and daughter

  • Document found in raid by U.S. special forces targeting ISIS official in Syria
  • Lists violations in explicit detail it claims are not permitted by Sharia law
  • One says it is 'not permissible to have intercourse until after she has had her menstrual cycle and becomes clean'
  • Another says: 'Owner of two sisters is not allowed to have sex with both'
  • Fatwa sheds new light on how ISIS is trying to reinterpret centuries-old teachings to justify the sexual slavery of women


ISIS has issued an extremely detailed ruling on when the 'owners' of female slaves can have sex with them in a sickening attempt to justify the rape and torture of its captives.

The ruling or fatwa has the force of law and appears to go beyond ISIS's previous known utterances on the subject, a leading Islamic State scholar said. 

It sheds new light on how the group is trying to reinterpret centuries-old teachings to sanction the sexual slavery of women in the swaths of Syria and Iraq it controls.
The fatwa was among a huge trove of documents captured by U.S. Special Operations Forces during a raid targeting a top ISIS official in Syria in May.

Reuters news agency has reviewed some of the documents, which have not been previously published.

Among the religious rulings are bans on a father and son having sex with the same female slave; and the owner of a mother and daughter having sex with both. 

Joint owners of a female captive are similarly enjoined from intercourse because she is viewed as 'part of a joint ownership.'

The United Nations and human rights groups have accused ISIS of the systematic abduction and rape of thousands of women and girls as young as 12, especially members of the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq.
Many have been given to fighters as a reward or sold as sex slaves.
Far from trying to conceal the practice, Islamic State has boasted about it and established a department of 'war spoils' to manage slavery.

Reuters reported on the existence of the department on Monday. 

In an April report, Human Rights Watch interviewed 20 female escapees who recounted how Islamic State fighters separated young women and girls from men and boys and older women. 

They were moved 'in an organized and methodical fashion to various places in Iraq and Syria.' 
Speaking out: 21-year-old Yazidi woman, Nadia Murad Basee Taha, describes her experience of being an ISIS sex slave in front of the United Nations Security Council earlier this month

They were then sold or given as gifts and repeatedly raped or subjected to sexual violence. 

Fatwa No. 64, dated January 29, 2015, and issued by the terror group's Committee of Research and Fatwas, appears to codify sexual relations between ISIS fighters and their female captives for the first time, going further than a pamphlet issued by the group in 2014 on how to treat slaves.

The fatwa starts with a question: 'Some of the brothers have committed violations in the matter of the treatment of the female slaves. 

'These violations are not permitted by Sharia law because these rules have not been dealt with in ages. Are there any warnings pertaining to this matter?'

It then lists 15 injunctions, which in some instances go into explicit detail. 
For example, one says: 'If the owner of a female captive, who has a daughter suitable for intercourse, has sexual relations with the latter, he is not permitted to have intercourse with her mother and she is permanently off limits to him.  

'Should he have intercourse with her mother then he is not permitted to have intercourse with her daughter and she is to be off limits to him.'
