Mut’ah allowed in both Shia and Sunni Islam

Mufti Towheed says: December 29, 2014 at 6:56 am

Mut’ah means temporary marriage which is allowed in both SHIA and Sunni Islam.

Sunni call it Jihad un Nikah or Nikah MISYAR! (Sunni version: http://www.thebereans.net/forum2/showthread.php?t=49285)

Shia call it Mut’ah which is also mentioned in Quran and their practice is more inline with Quran and Sunnah.

Umar bin khatab, banned many sunnah’s and introduced new bid’ahs in islam. Sunnis follow Umar and abu bakar more than following quran and prophet. -Mufti Towheed

Sounds like a Irani Shia hypocrite, why don`t you post exact verse which permits mutah. -mac


Mufti Towheed says: December 30, 2014 at 1:05 am

Why are you so scared to scroll up and learn about Nikah Misyar and Jihad un Nikah? and tell us what the difference is? And by the way, in English, all 3 of ‘em are called TEMPORARY MARRIAGE! Are there any verses in Quran about Jihad un Nikah or Misyar? please show them to me! -Mufti Towheed

    Dear readers,

    There is an another kind of marriage called Misyar in islam.

    A misyar contract is a marriage contract where couples can live separately but get together regularly, often for sexual relations.

    Although allowed in Saudi Arabia and under Sunni Islam, misyar is not popular with many who see it as legal prostitution. Women lose nearly all their rights in a misyar marriage.

    Nearly 80% of misyar relationships end in divorce.

    Requirements for Authorized Misyar Marriage:

    Consent of both parties.
    Blessing of the woman’s guardian.
    Presence of witnesses.
    Presence of a state marriage official.

    Reasons for Misyar Popularity:

    Contact between men and women who are not related is forbidden.

    Extramarital sex is looked upon as a grave sin.

    It allows a man to avoid the cost of an expensive wedding, a large dowry, and providing a home for his wife.

    A husband is not financially responsible for his wife.

    Commitment not necessary.

    Creates legal flexible sexual arrangements.

    It is really a shocking that girls of age of 13/16 whose organs are not fully developed are penetrated by older people, without caring their helplessness,cries and sobbing. How brutal crimes are these in the name of islam? I have heard similar cases in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and other muslim countries openly being in practices which only due to past legacy of cruel Mohammad who penetrated in 9years old girl in the name of marriage. Is it a religion? isolated cases are heard but in the name of religion, how it is justified?

    It is not a religion but a cruel mind set.

    I have just found on the mail that there are many sites indicating
    MALE PROFILES, MUTTA MATCH MAKER,. I found phone no. of one of the sites
    immediately they started contacting me for mutta marriage from 1 day to 15 days with girls of 13 years to 16 years. I am wondering, how in the name of islam, evil practices are flourishing? Main role on this practice is played by local imams and maulvies who keep on the family of poor girls and they trap their parents and grab sizeable money from older males.

    Hello readers,

    The general opinion of the four Sunni schools of law45 concerning the reason mut’a was permitted.

    At the beginning of Islam, the Muslims were in the minority and were often at war. Many of them were not able to marry and raise families, since they were constantly being called upon to travel long distances and to engage in battle with the unbelievers.

    Moreover, they had only recently embraced Islam; formerly, they had been accustomed to the concupiscence of the pre-Islamic Arabs, who would often possess harems containing large numbers of wives. They would have sexual relationships with whichever wife they desired, and leave aside those who no longer held any interest for them. The only ‘principles’ involved in their sexual affairs were lust and desire.

    When such men became Muslims, with Islam’s strict guidance for sexual relationships, it was difficult for them to spend much of their time at war with no opportunity to satisfy their sexual instincts. Hence it was natural that they be allowed to practice temporary marriage, especially since such marriages do not involve any permanent bond of the type which requires constant care and attention towards a wife and children. Nor at the time of war could the usual means of reducing sexual desires, such as fasting, be employed, since these would also reduce the fighting ability of the soldiers.

    BUT NOW A DAYS DUE TO SOCIETY BEING FREE, MUTTA MARRIAGES ARE BEING CONTEMPLATED AMONG BOTH SUNNI AND SHITE MUSLIM ON MASS SCALE TO ENJOY SEXUAL PLEASURE FROM INNOCENT AND POOR GIRLS OF ASIA AND AFRICAN COUNTRIES.,

    Dear readers,

    Muttah marriage has become a profession for clerics who struck deal with rich and older males for a poor girl every where in the world.
    Similarly in the name of halala sex exploitation is booming.The girl and her parents gets a small portion of the deal.I am posting a text for information of all girls.

    Muslim women lose dignity in the name of Halala in UK

    Halala centres working in different cities; clerics even gift divorced women to friends

    Asif Dar
    Saturday, September 14, 2013
    From Print Edition

    LONDON: The issue of divorce among Muslim women has taken a dangerous turn because clerics are out to exploit them in the name of Halala. When a man divorces a woman three times, she goes to a cleric who tells them that the couple can be reunited after Halala, which means after the woman contracts another marriage, at least for one night. Hence, these one-night brides lose their dignity in their houses and often fall prey to psychological diseases.

    The clerics have set up the Halala centres in London, Birmingham and other cities where divorced women are exploited. But real Ulema oppose this trend. Though all prominent clerics condemn exploitation of women, they do not highlight this issue because it could lead to disrepute of the Muslim community. The community is already facing a tough time due to child sex grooming and other such cases.

    In some cases, men divorce women three times in one go due to anger but later they realize that they have made a wrong decision. When they go to clerics to seek a way out of this problem so that they can be reunited, the clerics tell them that their wives have to contract a second marriage before they can be reunited in a marital bond again.

    The women are then hoodwinked into marrying the clerics and spend at least one night with them. The clerics agree to let them go to their former husbands in the morning but later they change their mind and demand huge sums of money to honour their agreement. They sometime keep the perturbed women in their houses for many days to quench their lust.

    These women fail to get their dignity back when reunited with their husbands but they have to survive for the sake of children and family. They then suffer from psychological diseases. Some clerics have opened Halala centres in their houses and their agents bring divorced women to them. They sometimes gift these women to their friends.

    Hi readers,

    According to Sunnah.com, Chapter: Tricks in marriages(4)
    باب الْحِيلَةِ فِي النِّكَاحِ

    Narrated ‘Abdullah:

    Nafi narrated to me that ‘Abdullah said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) 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.”

    حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الشِّغَارِ‏.‏ قُلْتُ لِنَافِعٍ مَا الشِّغَارُ قَالَ يَنْكِحُ ابْنَةَ الرَّجُلِ وَيُنْكِحُهُ ابْنَتَهُ بِغَيْرِ صَدَاقٍ، وَيَنْكِحُ أُخْتَ الرَّجُلِ وَيُنْكِحُهُ أُخْتَهُ بِغَيْرِ صَدَاقٍ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ إِنِ احْتَالَ حَتَّى تَزَوَّجَ عَلَى الشِّغَارِ، فَهْوَ جَائِزٌ، وَالشَّرْطُ بَاطِلٌ‏.‏ وَقَالَ فِي الْمُتْعَةِ النِّكَاحُ فَاسِدٌ، وَالشَّرْطُ بَاطِلٌ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْمُتْعَةُ وَالشِّغَارُ جَائِزٌ، وَالشَّرْطُ بَاطِلٌ‏.‏

    Thanks for reading.

    Dear readers,

    Khola Hassan, a Sunni Muslim and spokesperson for the UK Islamic Sharia Council, says the practice is strictly not allowed. She says it is equal to prostitution because of the time limit applied to the union.

    “I have never come across a Sunni scholar, throughout history, who declares mut’ah marriage to be haram,” said Mrs Hassan.
    Khola Hassan Khola Hassan says there is no difference between nikah mut’ah and prostitution

    “There is no difference between mut’ah marriage and prostitution. There is a time limit on the marriage, and the mahr given as a gift [from the man to the woman] is the equivalent as a payment to a prostitute,” she added.

    The nikah mut’ah consists of a verbal or written contract in which both parties agree the length of time and conditions for the marriage.

    The union can last for a few hours, days, months or years and when the contract ends so does the marriage.

    It can include stipulations such as “no physical contact” – or “no funny business”, as one parent put it – and the procedure is completed with the mahr.

    Sayyad Fadhil Milani, spiritual leader at the Al-Khoei Centre in Brent, north-west London, is widely regarded as the UK’s most senior Shia Islamic scholar and has written about the mut’ah marriage in his book Islamic Family Law.

    Sectarian divide

    “At the time of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, it was practised widely, especially when men were travelling away from home on business or at war,” he said.

    Ayatollah Milani said: “Islam does not permit relationships like those between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. So a nikah mut’ah gives them an opportunity to get to know each other before committing themselves to a full marriage.”

    Shabnam Mahmood speaks to Sayyad Milani Sayyad Milani says Nikah Mut’ah was common during the time of the Prophet Muhammad

    He admits there is a sectarian divide over the issue: “Umar [ibn al-Khattab, the second Caliph of Islam], himself said that the mut’ah was lawful at the time of the Prophet.

    “So some Muslims [in this case Sunni Muslims] are also not against it because they follow the interpretation and the suggestion made by the Prophet. Both Sunni and Shias say that they stick to the Koran and the practices of the Prophet.”

    Although nikah mut’ah is a Shia concept, other types of informal marriages are practised by Sunni Muslims, such as misyar and urfi.

    Misyar allows a couple to live separately through mutual agreement while urfi is done without the public approval of the bride’s guardians. Neither of these, however, has time limits as with nikah mut’ah.

    Way of legitimising sex

    Critics of these informal marriages, both Sunni and Shia, argue they allow a person to have multiple sexual partners and are used as an “Islamic cover” for prostitution or the exploitation of women, with men taking on multiple “wives” for a number of hours.
