وإن استأمن اليهم مسلم فإشترى جارية كتابية واستبرأها كان له أن يطأها هناك وأكره لكل مسلم أن يطأ امرأته أو أمته في دار الحرب مخافة أن يكون له هناك نسل

كتاب السير الصغير للشيباني ٦٥

If a Muslim seeks protection from them, and buys a Christian or Jewish servant girl, and observes the required period of abstinence for her [istibra’], he may have sex with her there; however I find it aversive for any Muslim to have sex with his woman or his slave girl in war territory [dar al-harb; non-Muslim lands], out of fear that he might have offspring there.

Al-Shaybani, Kitab Al-siyar Al-saghir [The Lesser Book on Campaigns], item 65
