Commentary
An unlawful thing does not become lawful by someone's making it so. If a woman renders her slave woman lawful for her husband, the slave woman would not become lawful for him. This is because the slave woman belongs to the wife; she is not his (husband's) slave woman. But, if the wife gives him the slave woman as a gift and subsequently she becomes his slave woman, or if the wife marries off the slave woman to the husband, then she would become lawful.
