Technically No, its 100% illegal and a punishable offense.
For example, although outdated, if a man has a concubine (slave girl),
As you have stated it is an outdated concept that held relevance for a certain period of time ,When taken in the most literal sense
he is allowed to have intercourse with her.
Not only that , The owner of the concubine has financial obligations towards the woman, including providing for her children and defending their lives. So they are not s3x slaves per say, This s3x slave idea is a modern distorted perception, For example , the Harems of the past , were not brothels, nor where orgies occurred, the harems were from where the future kings came
I'm not so sure if the same applies to a women.
The occurrence of polyandry in recorded history is significantly negligible, not practiced in muslims nor in the other monotheistic religions.
