THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

Mut'ah Marriage is Haram PDF Print E-mail
Fiqh: Islamic Jurisprudence - Marriage
Written by Muhammad Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen   

Allaah has prohibited the marriage of mut`ah because the intent behind marriage is the (building of mutual) affection and permanance (of relationship) and the building of a (stable) home and family as He (Ta`aala) says:

{And among His Signs is that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy}, [Soorah ar-Room, Aayah 21]

And because the marriage of mut`ah can lead to the ruin of children who are the product of intercourse in this (type of) marriage, and it can also lead to much mischief and corruption amongst the ummah; Because of this, Allaah (`Azza wa Jall) has prohibited it. And it is authenticated on the authority of the Prophet (saw) that he said:

((Indeed it (marriage of mut`ah) is prohibited right through to the Day of Judgement)), [Transmitted by Muslim, ref.1406]

And this indicates that it is not possible for this prohibition ever to be abrogated because if (we were to entertain that) it was possible to abrogate it, then (we must also entertain that) it is possible the Messenger of Allaah is a liar, and this notion is impossible.
