Did al-Halimi mean that consent of a concubine is required if her master wishes to have intercourse with her?

Someone claimed that Abu Abdullah al-Halimi considered it obligatory (wājib) for the master to obtain the slave girl’s consent before having intercourse with her. According to him, it is compulsory upon the master to refrain from touching her without her permission.
How true is his claim? Actually, I do not understand Arabic, so it is not possible for me to know whether their translations are correct or wrong.
Imam Abu Abdullah al-Halimi (d. 403 AH) said:
>وإن اشترى جارية فكرهت أن يمسها أو يضاجعها، فلا يمسها ولا يضاجعها ولا يطأها إلا بإذنها
>
> If someone buys a slave girl, and she dislikes that he touches or has intimacy with her, then that he should not touch her or have intimacy with her or have intercourse with her without her permission.
