And when I get a job, we will inform our families and get married. Please answer my question and if i can, then how can I do it and what things should I keep in mind?

Shia allow mutah marriages. https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/570/why-do-shias-allow-mutah-marriage . Did any Shia imams or their wives practice mutah according to Shiism?

السلام علیکم ورحمة الله وبركاته I know that Shias don't trust most of the sahabah so they won't accept their Hadith narrations but obviously Imam Ali bin Abi Talib RA is an exception to this. In fact, we sunnis have a hadith narrated by members of Ahlul Bait from Ali RA that Mutah has been forbidden by the Prophet SAW. This is present in in [Bukhari](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4216) and [Muslim](https://sunnah.com/muslim:1407a) , among other collections used by sunnis. In fact, even a Shia scholar, Abdul Razzaq alSan'ani RH has narrated this Hadith [here](https://sunnah.com/ahmad:1204) . (Note that Sunnis hold Abdul Razzaq and his Hadiths in very high regard even though he was a Shia). What surprises me, however, is that Shias still consider Mutah to be permissible despite this Hadith. Which begs the obvious question, is this Hadith even present in Shia sources?

According to Sunnis, mut'ah (temporary marriage) was allowed before but later the Prophet salallahu alayhi wassalam abolished it. It is based on the following hadiths (traditions): > In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that the Leader of the Faithful `Ali > bin Abi Talib said, "The Messenger of Allah prohibited Mut'ah marriage > and eating the meat of domesticated donkeys on the day of Khaybar > (battle).'' In addition, in his Sahih, Muslim recorded that Ar-Rabi' bin Sabrah bin Ma'bad Al-Juhani said that his father said that he accompanied the Messenger of Allah during the conquest of Makkah, and that the Prophet said, > O people! I allowed you the Mut'ah marriage with women before. Now, > Allah has prohibited it until the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, > anyone who has any women in Mut`ah, let him let them go, and do not > take anything from what you have given them. What is the evidence that the Shia used to allow it? Are there any conditions to perform Mut'ah ? What happens to the woman and her children after the Mut'ah marriage ends?

There are many reports that suggest that Mu'tah marriage was forbidden during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam). Some hadith like Sahih Muslim Book 008, Hadith Number 3262 and many others clearly states that Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam) forbade Mu'tah. But there are some hadith that suggests that Mu'tah was still practiced during the lifetime of Abu Bakr and Umar:- Ibn Uraij reported: 'Ati' reported that jibir b. Abdullah came to perform 'Umra, and we came to his abode, and the people asked him about different things, and then they made a mention of temporary marriage, whereupon he said: Yes, we had been benefiting ourselves by this temporary marriage during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) **and during the time of Abu Bakr and 'Umar.** ***(Sahih Muslim 1405 c)*** Why was Mu'tah still being practiced despite the fact that it was abrogated? Can someone please explain? Thanks.

Can a person male who had muttah with a woman after ending muttah marry make permenant nikkah with her adoptive daughter (not real daughter)?

I heard that Umar(RA) forbid Mutah marriage after the death of the Prophet(PBUH) and Abu Baker. What were his reasons for doing so ? Looking for answers from Sunni authentic sources.

How is Mutah (temporary marriage) different from prostitution? This was a question asked by an atheist friend of mine and I couldn't answer him satisfactorily. **Edit:** The question is not about that its legitimate anymore but one would have to justify the circumstances (from a non Muslim point of view) in which it was once allowed. (From Sunni perspective)

> **Sahih Bukhari Volume 009, Book 086, Hadith Number 090**. Narrated By > 'Abdullah : Nafi narrated to me that 'Abdullah said that Allah's > Apostle forbade the Shighar. I asked Nafi', "What is the Shighar?" He > said, "It is to marry the daughter of a man and marry one's daughter > to that man (at the same time) without Mahr (in both cases); or to > marry the sister of a man and marry one's own sister to that man > without Mahr." Some people said, "If one, by a trick, marries on the > basis of Shighar, **the marriage is valid but its condition is illegal**." > The same scholar said regarding Al-Mut'a, "The marriage is invalid and > its condition is illegal." Some others said, "**The Mut'a and the > Shighar are permissible but the condition is illegal**." For a marriage to be legal all its conditions must be met.
Can a marriage be valid even if its conditions are illegal? **What does it man by the marriage is valid but its condition is illegal?**

I understand that the Sunni view regarding mu'tah is that it is *no longer* permissible: > It was narrated from al-Rabee’ ibn Sabrah al-Juhani that his father > told him that he was with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings > of Allaah be upon him) who said, “O people, **I used to allow you to > engage in mut'ah marriages, *but now Allaah has forbidden that until > the Day of Resurrection***, so whoever has any wives in a mut’ah > marriage, he should let her go and do not take anything of the (money) > you have given them.” > > Narrated by Muslim, 1406. What interests me about this hadith is the following part highlighted below: > ***but now Allaah has forbidden that until the Day of Resurrection*** This bit makes me think that this particular order: but now Allaah has forbidden that until the Day of Resurrection was received by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as a revelation from Allah. Doesn't the Quran contain all the revelations received by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? So my question is, where in the Quran has mu'tah been forbidden? Sunni view please.

According to the Shia view of Islam, is mut'ah marriage allowed with one's daughter, one's sister or one's sister-in-law?

I know we have two kinds of marriages in Shia jurisprudence and also two kinds in Sunni jurisprudence. The ruling of permanent Nikah is similar in five sects (Shia and Sunni). But I want to know the differences between Nikah Mut'ah (in Shia jurisprudence) and Nikah Misyar (in Sunni jurisprudence). Please show me in what kind of sources (Quran, Sunnah, etc.) we find the legality of two this kinds of marriage.

How to end my Nikha Mut'ah term? At the end of my Nikha Mut'ah term, can I directly marry the same girl again or does she have to marry someone else before marrying me?

In an earlier question I asked whether a married man who sleeps with an unmarried woman is considered Zina and in some jurisdictions was punishable by stoning (Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Yemen and some states in Nigeria). The answers seemed to indicate that a married man is liable for the death penalty (whether by stoning or some other method). But, to get around this, a private marriage contract can be performed (Nikah mut'ah) - from my research it seems that this is a carryover from pre-Islamic practices of Arabs, and Shiite Islam does not condone it. Since most of the jurisdictions where stoning occurs are Sunni, though, I want to know what is the legal status of Nikah mut'ah in Sunni countries.

One of the rational arguments that is put forward in favour of *Mutah* / temporary-marriage is that it helps to keep one away from falling into the sin of *Zina*, when he is not able to marry permanently. Now, my question is: - Is being a bachelor/divorced, a condition for legality of Mutah in Shiite Fiqh? Is it allowed for a married person to do Mutah in his normal life? Or is it allowed only under some situations, like when a married person's spouse is suffering from a long time ailment or he/she is away from home for a long time? Another related question would be: - Is it a man who goes into seeking a relationship in Mutah or the act of seeking is valid from both directions?

What are temporary marriages and how are they different from permanent ones? Are they still allowed?

Assalamualaikum, can anyone help shed some light on the conflicting ahadith on when Mut'ah was banned? Is it during the battle of Khaybar? : Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib: On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the Mut'a (i.e. temporary marriage) and the eating of donkey-meat. حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَسَنِ، ابْنَىْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ مُتْعَةِ النِّسَاءِ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، وَعَنْ أَكْلِ الْحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ‏.‏ Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 4216 In-book reference : Book 64, Hadith 256 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 5, Book 59, Hadith 527 Is it during the Battle of Awtas? : Iyas b. Salama reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave sanction for contracting temporary marriage for three nights in the year of Autas 1847 and then forbade it. حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَيْسٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَامَ أَوْطَاسٍ فِي الْمُتْعَةِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ نَهَى عَنْهَا ‏.‏ Reference : Sahih Muslim 1405 f In-book reference : Book 16, Hadith 21 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 8, Hadith 3251 Is it during the conquest of Mecca? : Rabi' b. Sabra reported that his father went on an expedition with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) during the Victory of Mecca, and we stayed there for fifteen days (i. e. for thirteen full days and a day and a night), and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) permitted us to contract temporary marriage with women. So I and another person of my tribe went out, and I was more handsome than he, whereas he was almost ugly. Each one of us had a cloaks, My cloak was worn out, whereas the cloak of my cousin was quite new. As we reached the lower or the upper side of Mecca, we came across a young woman like a young smart long-necked she-camel. We said: Is it possible that one of us may contract temporary marriage with you? She said: What will you give me as a dower? Each one of us spread his cloak. She began to cast a glance on both the persons. My companion also looked at her when she was casting a glance at her side and he said: This cloak of his is worn out, whereas my cloak is quite new. She, however, said twice or thrice: There is no harm in (accepting) this cloak (the old one). So I contracted temporary marriage with her, and I did not come out (of this) until Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) declared it forbidden. حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُفَضَّلٍ - حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَتْحَ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَأَقَمْنَا بِهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ - ثَلاَثِينَ بَيْنَ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ - فَأَذِنَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي مُتْعَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَلِي عَلَيْهِ فَضْلٌ فِي الْجَمَالِ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الدَّمَامَةِ مَعَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا بُرْدٌ فَبُرْدِي خَلَقٌ وَأَمَّا بُرْدُ ابْنِ عَمِّي فَبُرْدٌ جَدِيدٌ غَضٌّ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِأَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ أَوْ بِأَعْلاَهَا فَتَلَقَّتْنَا فَتَاةٌ مِثْلُ الْبَكْرَةِ الْعَنَطْنَطَةِ فَقُلْنَا هَلْ لَكِ أَنْ يَسْتَمْتِعَ مِنْكِ أَحَدُنَا قَالَتْ وَمَاذَا تَبْذُلاَنِ فَنَشَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا بُرْدَهُ فَجَعَلَتْ تَنْظُرُ إِلَى الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَيَرَاهَا صَاحِبِي تَنْظُرُ إِلَى عِطْفِهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ بُرْدَ هَذَا خَلَقٌ وَبُرْدِي جَدِيدٌ غَضٌّ ‏.‏ فَتَقُولُ بُرْدُ هَذَا لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ ‏.‏ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْتَعْتُ مِنْهَا فَلَمْ أَخْرُجْ حَتَّى حَرَّمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ Reference : Sahih Muslim 1406 b In-book reference : Book 16, Hadith 23 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 8, Hadith 3253 Is it during the Farewell Pilgrimage?

He said : 'Then make temporary marriages with these women'. So we went to them, but they insisted on setting a fixed time between us and them. They mentioned that to the Prophet and he said : 'Set a fixed time between you and them.' So I went out with a cousin of mine. He had a cloak and I had a cloak, but his cloak was finer than mine, and I was younger than him. We came to a women and she said: 'One cloak is like another.' So I married her and stayed with her that night. Then the next day I saw the Messenger of Allah standing between the Rukn (corner) and the door (of the Ka'bah), saying : 'O people, I had permitted temporary marriage for you, but Allah has forbidden it until the Day of Resurrection. however had any temporary wives, he should let them go, and do not take back anything that you had given to them.'

If i do mutah with a woman who is a divorcee, for 1 hour and after expiration of 1 hour can i do mutah with the same woman's daughter who is Baaligh if the woman agrees to it.

> Nikah al-mut'ah is a type of marriage permitted in Twelver Shia Islam, where the duration of the marriage and the mahr must be specified and agreed upon in advance. ... > > Sunni Muslims, and within Shia Islam, Zaidi Shias, Ismaili Shias, and Dawoodi Bohras do not practice Nikah mut'ah. -- Wikipedia The above sentence indicates that Sunni Muslims (and others) don't perform nikah mut'ah weddings. I'm not sure if it implies nikah mut'ah marriages (performed where they are considered valid) are recognized in Sunni Islam. If nikah mut'ah is not recognized, then sex between such couples would logically amount to zina (fornication), which is punishable under Sharia. **Question**: Is sex by couples married under nikah mut'ah interpreted as zina in Sunni Islam, and punishable under Sharia? An answer by Zohal and a comment by Aboudi for https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/17732/17163 expresses this viewpoint, although these weren't backed up by an authoritative reference (so I don't know if they're just expressing a personal opinion).

If a husband and wife are married as per nikah mut'ah , it's possible the wife could become pregnant. This seems to open up a host of complications with regards to maintenance and custody. Google reveals anti-mut'ah web pages and isn't much help. However, I found this: > A woman with whom temporary marriage is contracted, is not entitled to subsistence even if she becomes pregnant. -- Ayatollah Sistani This leaves open the responsibility for the child(ren). **Question**: Who is responsible for maintaining the child(ren) if a wife gets pregnant in nikah mut'ah?
