Question

A non Muslim wants to accept Islam but he has a query whether prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and his companions kept women as slaves during the war. Please if you could explain this in detail with references.

Answer

You don't get involved in all of this. It is beyond your understanding, and when non-Muslims have not accepted the basic beliefs how can they accept things of a secondary issues.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
