Allah has made only wives and slave-girls halal for men to have intercourcse with. Can you explain who these slave-girls are and what qualities do they have?

In this age and times who can be classified as slave-girl? Since the possibility of acquiring a slave-girl like the earlier Muslims used to have them and also having multiple wives is next to impossible in these times, is there a derivative of a slave-girl that one could have?

The slave girls refer to those non-Muslim woman who are captured in Jihaad by the Muslims. They are distributed among the warriors according to the
laws of distributing spoils of war.

And another question on the topic of anal sex

*****************************************************************

Is anal sex permissible between husband and wife?

I read in a book, which mentioned all the actions necessitating a fard bath(ghusl), and one of them were anal sex. Does this mean it is permitted in islam.

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

It is reported from Ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that Hadhrat Umar
(Radhiallaahu Anhu) had intercourse with his wife through rear entry (not
anal entry). Later, he was overtaken with the thought that perhaps he had
committed an undesirable act. Immediately, he rushed off to the Prophet
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) calling out, 'I have been destroyed, I have
been destroyed!' He was asked what was the matter, to which he recounted his
fear of having committed an undesirable act. The prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) remained silent, giving no answer. Sometime later, these Aayaats
of the noble Qur'aan were revealed: 'Your wives are a tillage (farm) unto
you, thus approach your tillage from wherever you wish.' (Baqarah Aayat223).
Thereafter, the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) explained the meaning
of the Aayat by saying that, 'Intercourse in the Vagina is permissible in
any position which one desires to adopt.' From the front or rear, so long as
intercourse during menstruation and anal sex does not take place, for these
are Haraam. (Tafseer Fathul Qadeer; Shawkaani).

>From the above, we understand that the husband may approach his wife from
the front, sides or rear whether in a supine position or squatting, all are
permissible, as long as intercourse takes place in the vagina, and not in
the anus.
