Mut'ah marriage
This is when a man marries a woman in exchange for money, for a specific period, at the end of which the marriage ends without divorce (talaq).
It was permitted at the beginning of Islam, then it was forbidden. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O people, I used to allow you to engage in mut'ah marriages, but now Allah has forbidden that until the Day of Resurrection.” Narrated by Muslim.
Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Hasan and Abdullah, the two sons of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyah, from their father, that he heard Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) say to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade mut'ah marriage with women on the day of Khaybar, and [he forbade] eating the meat of donkeys.”
It is haram according to scholarly consensus, and none of those who claim to be Muslim permit it except the Rafidis.
One of the cities in which mut'ah is widespread has been described as the most promiscuous city in Asia!
Al-Qurtubi said: The earlier and later generations agree that it—namely, mut'ah marriage—is forbidden, except those whose view is not worth paying attention to, namely the Rafidis.
➤ Mut'ah marriage leads to many serious negative consequences, such as the neglect of children with no one to give them proper care, the corruption of women, the abuse of women, the mixing of lineages, and the spread of immorality, permissiveness, and promiscuity.
> Moreover, it is contrary to the objectives of marriage, such as stability, the formation of a household and family, the continuation of humankind, and increasing the numbers of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
