The illegitimacy of temporary marriages

[rocam]

Here’s an excellent article I found discussing the issue of temporary marriages in Islam.

http://www.allaahuakbar.net/shiites/concept_of_muta.htm

Some excerpts:

Mut’ah was a loose sexual practice during the pre-Islamic days of ignorance in Arabia. Being an old and established institution, it continued during the early days of Islam. The Prophet (PBUH) also allowed it temporarily on two other occasions, but only under strict, exceptional conditions during the conquest of Khaybar and during the conquest of Makkah - fearing that those Muslims whose faith was not yet strong might commit adultery during jihad. Shi'ahs widely quote Ahaadeeths in relation to these events to support their continued belief in mut’ah. Sunnis accept these Ahaadeeths but add that they happened before all of the revelations of the Qur'ân were revealed and the religion completed. Historians and commentators on the Qur'ân and ahaadeethagree that Islam eradicated most social evils in a gradual way. It is well known that practices like gambling, drinking, and the eating of pork and blood were common during the early days but were gradually prohibited. Likewise, it seems probable that mut’ah was first forbidden to those at Khaybar in the year 7 A.H. and was then completely prohibited to all upon the conquest of Makkah in 8 A.H. Several traditions of the Prophet (PBUH) regarding mut'ah are well documented in books of. ahaadeeth such as the following:

• 'Ali reported: "On the day of the conquest of Khaybar the Prophet (PBUH) forbade mut'ah and [eating] the flesh of a donkey."
  
• Sabrah bin Ma' bad al-Jihani reported: "I went forth with the Prophet (PBUH) for the conquest of Makkah, and he (PBUH) allowed us mut'ah with women. But we had not even left the city [yet] when it was prohibited by the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)."
  
• According to al-Bayhaqi, Ja'far as-Sadiq, the sixth Shi'ah imaam, regarded mut'ah as fornication." And ‘Ali is reported by ad-Darqutni to have said that mut'ah was abrogated when the Qur'ânic verses about marriage, divorce, 'iddah.' and inheritance were revealed."

• It was narrated from al-Rabee’ ibn Sabrah al-Juhani that his father told him that he was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said, “O people, I used to allow you to engage in mut’ah marriages, but now Allaah has forbidden that until the Day of Resurrection, so whoever has any wives in a mut’ah marriage, he should let her go and do not take anything of the (money) you have given them.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3979; Muslim, 1407.
  
  
• It was narrated from ‘Ali that he heard Ibn ‘Abbaas permitting mut’ah marriage, and he said, “Wait a minute, O Ibn ‘Abbaas, for the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade it on the day of Khaybar and (he also forbade) the meat of tame donkeys.” Narrated by Muslim 1407.

Mut’ah was a loose sexual practice during the pre-Islamic days of ignorance in Arabia

3eeea3 "beep"
Wrong judgement!if it was so than prophet sw was allowing adoltry and loose of sexual practices.Zina #NikahMut3ah!neither prophet sw kept any Jahiliyah attitude or that he have allowed it!

Shi'ahs widely quote Ahaadeeths in relation to these events to support their continued belief in mut’ah. Sunnis accept these Ahaadeeths

but what?

but add that they happened before all of the revelations of the Qur'ân were revealed and the religion completed.

prophet sw never Commands things unless revealed to him By Allah swt through Gabriel as peace be upon him!
You may think Alcohol was Allowed for a little while because it was something Arabs would never gave up on before Eman gets in their hearts ,and Later it was baned!here I may see how loose it is and how important to ban it!
Adoltry is baned but if you compare the two as equal !that's your Opinion

You are not making any sense. It’s obvious that your attempt to critic the above text by yourself is hopeless.
