Quote:Well, let me explain to your further, first off, your argument cannt stand because as you yourself explained, Muta does not involve any financial obligations on the husband. Further it might apply even without sexual contact. Thus, building on the word اسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهِ which establishes a rule of paying a deffered dowry cannt be valid here.
When did I say there are no financial obligations on the husband? The husband is obliged to pay the woman a dowry. I think I have mentioned this before.
Muta' can be contracted without any sexual contact involved, infact in Shi'i fiqh the same applies to Permanent marriage as well. i don't see what this has to do with verse 4:24.
4:24 does not mention divorce at all.
Doesn't Al-hayy mean the ever living? I havent heard of the All-Shy before.
Allahs language in the Quran does vary according to context but it is very precise as well. When talking about the context of consummation of marriage Allah uses the word تَمَسُّوهُنَّ in 2:236, 2:237 and 33:49. I am not aware of any other word used in the Quran to describe the consummation, maybe you can show me?
