Assalamu'alaikum
I am sorry for being late again, sister Muslimah. It's been so long I don't come to this forum, but you still remember me well :) Ma'sha Allah.
And Alhamdulillah, brother Hassan's concern for Indonesian women really makes me happy.
I'll try to help spreading this message. This fatwa is a little bit shocking, but it helps me understand this issue better.
In Indonesia, it's a public secret that some men from gulf countries (we call them "orang Arab") come to my country for business or vacation and have this mut'ah.
I also read a lot and know by myself about women who work in gulf countries and then come home with children.
This is really a big issue actually. Those women who work in Arab countries mostly uneducated, and it's getting worse since they are poor and don't have good knowledge about Islam.
I'd like to discuss more, but I can't. I am not in good condition today. I've got stomach ache, and this illness reminds me 2 things: my mother and death. My mother passed away on Friday not long after having this kind of stomach ache.
I am not afraid of the death. But I am not a good Muslim, so I'm not ready to die yet.
Please make du'a for me. I hope this will reduce my sins, and may Allah forgive me.
See you soon, insha Allah.
