Among the Shiite minority, even though not allowed by the law, temporary marriages [muttah] are practiced. Temporary marriages last for predetermined fixed-term in Shiite Islam, often for one night: many opponents call this arrangement legalized prostitution.


Noun form: enjoyment, pleasure, delight, gratification; recreation; compensation paid to a divorced woman; Muta'h, temporary marriage, usufruct marriage contracted for a specified time.


Shi‘a believe that the marriage contract does not require having witnesses, a written contract or permission from authorities. But Sunnis also practice this!

It is used in modern times when people move from one place to another, such as from one country to another. Thus students, workers, scholars may enter into a contractual marriage under the verse of the Qur'an which allows ones emotional needs and human needs to be fulfilled if they are in another country. It may lead to permanent marriage afterwards.


It may be used to become mahram (unmarriable) with somebody with whom they do not intend to cohabit or have a married relationship, but with whom they spend a lot of time (for example, share a house). In order to ease the hijab "modest dress" rules, they engage in a nikah al-Mut‘ah, specifying in the marriage contract that no physical contact is allowed.


Two people who live under the same roof but are not mahram (unmarriable) and must observe hijab may engage in a symbolic nikah al-mut‘ah with the others' offspring for a minimal amount of time (two minutes or less). The Nikahu’l-Mut‘ah does not need to have any practical consequence, but it will make the parent and the offspring's husband or wife permanently mahram to each other, and thus no longer obliged to observe hijab rules.


Young unmarried couples may decide to use nikahu l-Mut‘ah as a permissible alternative to entering into a relationship on the premise of future permanent marriage.

It might also be seen as a cover for legalized prostitution, as the nikahu l-Mut'ah can last as short as half an hour, and the woman receives financial compensation but in accordance with the Quran must still wait three months (iddah) before the next contract.


Rules

Nikah al-Mut‘ah resembles an ordinary conventional marriage in many, but not all, aspects. It commences in the same way as a Nikah except that a date of expiration for the marriage is added to the marriage contract and the wife has her rights restricted to some extent. The duration is decided by the couple involved. There are no restrictions about minimum and maximum duration. If the period is longer than what can be reasonably expected to be a lifetime, it will transform into a nikah.


During the period of the marriage, the couple are considered husband and wife, just as in a permanent marriage. At the expiration, the marriage is voided without undergoing a talaq (divorce). In case of intimate intercourse, the woman must observe the iddah (waiting period) before she can marry anyone else. Nikah al-Mut‘ah is considered mustahab (recommended) by the Shia.[5][verification needed]

Differences from permanent marriage
Nikah Mut'a is a marriage with a pre-set time. It is important to note that different Marja (authorities) may give different fatwa (legal rulings) on some issues. Many of the following rules may be changed in the Islamic marriage contract.


The marriage is agreed to be voided after a pre-set time. This permits the couple to expect and prepare emotionally for the end of the marriage.

No divorce is necessary. In Shi‘a fiqh, divorce is viewed as a complex process and a period aimed at giving the couple the chance to reconcile. This is not necessary in Nikahu’l-Mut‘ah, since the marriage does not end due to disharmony but due to the preset time being reached.
The husband may void the Nikahu l-Mut‘ah earlier than agreed. If he does and they have had intimate intercourse, he must give her full mahr "bride gift". If they have not had intercourse, he must give her half that amount, though the recommended precaution is that he should give her full mahr. A distinction between a talaq (divorce) in a nikah and voiding a nikahu l-mut‘ah is made in a conversation reported in a hadith collection.


The couple do not inherit from each other. Since the marriage is not permanent, the couple is not considered a single, merged unit.

The husband is financially responsible for any children resulting from the marriage. As it is believed that a woman should not be burdened with the responsibility of providing for a family, she is allowed to work and spend her money as she chooses.

The wife may leave her house against her husband's will.
The husband need not pay for the wife's expenses. This complements the above point.
It is permitted to marry a woman from Ahl al-Kitab "People of the Book" (followers of monotheistic religions).

The difference in jurisprudence between different religions is overcome by this rule. It is understood that the Muslim Nikah does not have an equivalent form among the People of the Book.

Here is the reference to the Hadiths that this is NOT abrogated:

(Shi'a quote)
In Fatih al-Qadir: "Ibn Abbas said the verse of Mut'ah - i.e. it has not been abrogated."

In Tafseer Mu'alim al Tanzeel: "Ibn Abbas said: "The verse of Mut'ah was an order and it's Halal."

In Tafseer Kabeer: "The verse of Mut'ah appears in the Qur'an, no verse has come down to abrogate it."

We read in Sahih Bukhari:

A narration attributed to Abu Jamra reports:

“ I heard Ibn Abbas (giving a verdict) when he was asked about the Mut'ah with the women, and he permitted it (Nikah al-Mut'ah). On that a freed slave of his said to him, "That is only when it is very badly needed and (qualified permanent) women are scarce, or similar cases." On that, Ibn Abbas said, "Yes." ”

Ibn Kathir, a 14th century Shafi`i Islamic scholar writes [

“Ibn Abbas another Sahaba said that Mut'ah can be utilised when needed, Ibn Hanbal also narrated the same

From Wikipedia.
Here is a Mut'ah Chatroom for mozlems to meet young women and arrange intimate encounters: but once the woman has lost her virginity, she will be treated like trash!   


The folowing is the "mut'sh marriage contract", as sanctioned by that peerless, moral humanist, Ayatollah Khomeini:

Unfortunately, when giving examples of contented females, the only one he could come up with was a former Christian woman, here: http://www.mutah.com/sistermd.htm
NOT a happy experience!!

Truly disgusting behavior.

Waiting for the Shiites to respond !!!!!

Frosbel please move your topic to muslim section.

I do not know why you people are doing this but let there be order in what you do.

Reember God is not mocked and He sees what you're doing.

Show integrity occasionally since you say you're trying to preach the gospel.

This topic has nothing to do with christianity and you might as well post it in politics, computer or romance section.

I spent a lot of effort yesterday getting the other one moved to islam section and i do not appreciate what you're doing here. Please raise the issue with muslims, not christians because this has nothing to do with them.

Mods kindly move this to muslim section once again.

This is not about tpia but about doing what needs to be done. Remember you will also encounter the same situation in your personal lives some day.

Frosbel, what you are doing does not glorify God so cut it out.

I know many of you are cultists anyway.

cultists , what !!!!!!!

You are a wonder.

Anyway I did not post at the Islam section to avoid direct provocation.

It was posted here primary for the enlightenment of all Nairalanders and not specifically for Muslims.


By the way what part of TRUTH do you not understand ? All the posts are by ex-Muslims , many of whom are Arabs.

So please do not start been politically correct by accusing me of truth twisting.

Thanks,

This topic has nothing to do with christianity.

It is a muslim thing and as such it belongs in the muslim section.

There is already an ongoing thread where you can post your opinion and you did not need to open another thread to discuss the issue.

If you dont want to aggravate muslims then dont do things that will aggravate them.

Mods or whoever is monitoring this section, kindly move the thread to the islamic forum.

This isnt about tpia and neither is it a tug of war.

Just do your jobs, thanks.

^^^

I suggest you leave the moderators to do their job.

It appears that the TRUTH is becoming too HOT TO HANDLE !!


Or are you one of those Christians who laugh when the name of Christ is blasphemed or maligned and go berserk when the truth about ALLAH is revealed.

Enough said !!!!

Ahem, tpia & frosbel, pls no fighting.

Bro Frosbel, pls see my comment in the mod thread. Thanks again ehn
