Islamic Word of the Day: Nikah Mut'ah

Islamic Word of the Day:
"Nikah Mut'ah"
**
Question:
Does Islam have a loophole for sex-on-demand called 'temporary marriage'?
Summary Answer:
It is called Nikah Mut'ah, a fixed-time arrangement between a man and a woman that dissolves once the duration expires.
(... and it is also applied to the marrying of young boys to older men.)
The Qur'an:
Sura (4:24) - "And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done)"
From the Hadith:
Muslim (8:3252) - Muhammad clearly allowed his men to use temporary marriage as a sanctioned form of prostitution.
Additional Notes:
Since temporary marriage is a euphemism for prostitution, the Sunnis believe that it should only be practiced in certain times (such as the lifetime of Muhammad... oddly enough). The Shias take a more liberal position and freely allow the practice.

Hi. Just want to correct, in Islam divorce is highly disliked by God Most High. it can be done, but God dislikes it. & mariege is considered like building a mosque in Islam.

The Quran also states to love the wife in marriege:

??? ???? ?????? ??????

"O you who believe! It is not lawful for you that you should take women as heritage against (their) will, and do not straiten them in order that you may take part of what you have given them, unless they are guilty of manifest indecency; And treat them kindly; then if you hate them, it may be that you dislike a thing while Allah has placed abundant good in it." 004:019

"And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect." 030:021

So for me, I do try speaking something I actually know. God Knows Best. :)

This article is simple nonsense quoting dubious sources to legitimise the drivel.

There ARE some people that think they can have temporary marriages in Iran, but they are the exception, not the rule.

Beware lies about Islam.
