A Christian woman who has fallen victim to a mut’ah marriage

 

Hi, I'm a Christian and I am in a muta
marrige with a muslim right now and when we discuss muta marriges he says he's allowed to
have sex if it was put in the "contract" I was just wondering is that true? If
the female are unable to be touched then how is it that a guy can have sex. I guess I just
don't understand. What are the other things you can and can not do while in a muta
marrige?

Praise be to Allaah.

We are very upset to hear about this incident in which
you have been deceived and lied to, or have fallen victim to the ignorance of this evil
man. The final ruling with regard to mut’ah marriage is that it is forbidden
according to Islamic sharee’ah. This prohibition is the final ruling of the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with regard to this matter.

Imaam Muslim said in his Saheeh:

Baab Nikaah al-Mut’ah wa bayaan annahu ubeeha thumma nusikha
thumma ubeeha thumma nusikha wastaqarra tahreemuhu ilaa Yawn il-Qiyaamah (Chapter on
Mut’ah marriage and the statement that it was permitted, then abrogated, then
permitted, then abrogated, and this prohibition remains in effect until the Day of
Resurrection).

From Iyaas ibn Salamah from his father, who said: “The Messenger
of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave sanction for contracting
temporary marriage (mut’ah) for three nights in the year of Awtaas [after the Battle
of Humayn in 8 AH], then he forbade it.” (2499)

From al-Rabee’ ibn Sabrah from his father: on the day of the
Conquest (of Makkah) the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
forbade temporary marriage (mut’ah) with women. (Saheeh Muslim, 2506)

And also from him (may Allaah be pleased with him): that the Messenger
of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade mut’ah and said:
“It is forbidden from this day of yours until the Day of Resurrection, and whoever
has given anything [as a dowry] should not take it back.” (Saheeh Muslim,
2509).

From ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib: that the Prophet
(peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) forbade temporary marriage to women and the flesh of donkeys at the
time of Khaybar. This was narrated by al-Tirmidhi, who said: the hadeeth of ‘Ali is
hasan saheeh and this is what was followed by the scholars among the companions of the
Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and others… this is also the
view of al-Thawri, Ibn al-Mubaarak, al-Shaafa’i, Ahmad and Ishaaq. Sunan
al-Tirmidhi, 1040.

Either this man who has deceived you is an evil Raafidi who is
following the religion of his community, who permit mut’ah marriages which are
forbidden in Islam, or he is a corrupt Muslim who is taking advantage of the matter to
fulfil his own desires, or he is ignorant and needs to be educated and advised.

We thank you for sending this question to us and we would like to take

people’s life, honour and wealth. You will find information on embracing Islam in the
