Muslim family owning slaves

[Sophie.678]

Hello everyone. From my limited understanding of Islam, are slaves allowed to be owned? I have found various verses supporting owning of slaves and is it permissible for someone to willingly submit themselves to be a slave? Or can a slave only be taken during a war? If someone willingly consents to being your slave, is this allowed? Many thanks.
