Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:Ps even if they never practiced Muta doesnt make Muta haram, there are traditions narrated from the very same people establishing the permissiblity of Muta.
I just thought to share with you all these hadiths regarding Mut'a marriage:
<b>Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 527: </b>
Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib:
On the day of Khaibar, <b>Allah's Apostle forbade the Mut'a </b>(i.e. temporary marriage) and the eating of donkey-meat.
<b>Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 86, Number 91: </b>
Narrated Muhammad bin 'Ali:
'Ali was told that Ibn 'Abbas did not see any harm in the Mut'a marriage. <b>'Ali said, </b>
"Allah's Apostle forbade the Mut'a marriage on the Day of the battle of Khaibar
and he forbade the eating of donkey's meat." Some people said, "If one, by a tricky way,
marries temporarily, his marriage is illegal." Others said, "The marriage is valid but its
condition is illegal."
<b>Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3259: </b>
Rabi' b. Sabra reported on the authority of his father that <b>Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) prohibited the contracting of temporary marriage.</b>
<b>Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3259: </b>
Rabi' b. Sabra reported on the authority of his father that <b>Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) prohibited the contracting of temporary marriage.</b>
<b>Sahih Muslim Book 021, Number 4763:</b>
'Ali b. Abi Talib reported that <b>Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade on the Day of Khaibar temporary marriage (Muta') with women </b>and the eating of the flesh of domestic asses.
<b>Book 008, Number 3262:</b>
Sabra al-Juhanni reported on the authority of his father: <b>Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) prohibited the contracting of temporary marriage </b><b>and said: Behold, it is forbidden from this very day of yours to the Day of Resurrection</b>, and he who has given something (as a dower) should not take it back.
<b>Book 008, Number 3264: </b>
Malik narrated this hadith on the authority of the same chain of trans- witters that 'Ali b.
Abil Talib said to a person: You are a person led astray; <b>Allah's Messenger (may peace </b>
be upon him) forbade us (to do Mut'a),
<b>Book 008, Number 3265: </b>
Muhammad b. 'Ali narrated on the authority of his father 'Ali that <b>Allah's Apostle (may </b>
peace be upon him) on the Day of Khaibar prohibited for ever the contracting of
temporary marriage and eating of the flesh of the domestic asses.
Book 008, Number 3266:
'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) heard that Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) gave some relaxation in connection with the contracting of temporary marriage, whereupon he said: Don't be hasty (in your religious verdict), Ibn 'Abbas, for<b> Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the Day of Khaibar prohibited for ever the doing of it</b>-And eating of the flesh of domestic asses.
My question now to Karbala is that<b> if Muta marriage is the marriage that is destined for divorce </b>(<i>because you can marry a girl for a couple of hours or days, however, the intention behind this marriage is pleasure AND then divorce</i>), and so <b>why the Shi'ah do condemn divorce and allow Mut'a which is beginning of divorce?</b>
I found also some Shi'ah sources speaking about how hateful divorce is in the sight of Allah: here are the sources for your review:
Quote:"It is a condition of divorce firstly that, at the time of divorce, the woman is clean of her monthly period. Secondly, there must be two just witnesses present when the contract of divorce is recited. Divorce is divinely detested. The Prophet of God tells us: "The most-detested permissible (thing) before God is divorce".

Quote:Although divorce is a lawful act, it is the most detested and worst of adeeds.
Imam Sadiq (AS) stated: ‘Get married but, do not divorce, because a divorce would tremble the ‘Arsh (empyrean) of Allah’.”
Quote:“lmäm Sädiq (AS) also stated: ‘Allah likes the house which is inhabited in the wake of marriage and dislikes the house which is abandoned in the wake of divorce. .There is nothing more detestable to Allah than a divorce’
Marriage is not like buying a pair of shoes and socks that whenever not liked one disposes the shoes and buys an (pair of shoes. Marriage is a spiritual covenant that two pet make in order to stay together like friends, sympathies au lovers till their death. It is based on these great hopes tb young girl leaves her parents and joins her husband.
A man makes efforts and works hard on the basis of s a divine covenant. He pays for his wedding and buys necessary goods for his new life and works for his comfort.
Marriage is not a lustful affair and a couple cannot destroy it for trivial excuses. Although divorce is lawful, it 1 seriously detested and people are recommended to avoid it much as possible.
Unfortunately, this very detestable act has become so common in Islamic countries and the foundations of family units have become so shaky that there is generally little faith in marriage any more.
Divorce is permitted but only in very exceptional and compelling circumstances.
“The Prophet (SA) of Allah stated: Jibril (Gabriel) advised me about women so much that I thought one should not divorce them except if they commit adultery’.”26’ (this is a Hadith from Prophet Muhammad!)

How could these same sources allow Mut'a which is some kind of a <b>'divorced marriage' </b>?
