In page History of slavery in the Muslim world:

"

Generally, the role of female slaves in the Muslim world was one of two: for sexual slavery as concubines, or as domestic house slave servants. Both of these categories were substantial. Since sexual intercourse between a man and his female slave was not defined as zina in Islamic law[citation needed], a female slave was the only legal way for a Muslim man to have sex outside of marriage. Since the customary Islamic sex segregation prevented free Muslim women from working as maidservants in the same manner as occurred in Europe, slaves were the only way for a Muslim woman to employ a servant to help her with household chores.
