When was mutah prohibited

The narration about the earliest prohibition comes from the path of Ali bin Abi Talib in Saheeh Muslim He narrates: The Messenger of Allah — peace be upon him — prohibited the mutah marriage of woman on Khaibar and consuming the meat of the domestic donkey.

In some of these narrations, the words of Ali are directed towards Ibn Abbas. This is also in Saheeh Muslim , , , , and According to historians, the conquest of Khaibar occurred on the seventh year after Hijra, while the conquest of Makkah and Awtas occurred on the eighth.

However, one can safely conclude that this is a mistake by a narrator, since we find the same wording in Saheeh Muslim which also includes three of the same narrators. Therefore, it is safe to say that we are looking at the same hadith, but a narrator accidentally said that it was in the final pilgrimage, which occurred in Makkah, instead of conquest of Makkah.

In this brief chapter, we will simply focus on presenting the case for the strongest views for when mutah was prohibited. With that in mind, we are left with two opinions, which are that mutah was prohibited during Khaibar, during the conquest of Makkah, or in both expeditions.

The most popular opinion is the one that is often most echoed by Sunni scholars. However, this opinion was not agreed upon by all scholars.

Nobody from the historians nor hadith narrators are aware that mutah was forbidden on Khaibar, and Ibn Uyayna narrated it from Ibn Shihab from Abdullah bin Mohammad and said that the Prophet — peace be upon him — forbade the meat of the domestic donkey on the year of Khaibar, and forbade mutah. This means that mutah was made forbidden after this, or on another day, which means that it was a mix up in the wordings of Ibn Shihab. Furthermore, Sabra himself stated that he practiced mutah on those days and provided details about the events, which makes it unlikely that he could have provided an incorrect date.

Due to this, some scholars interpreted the hadith of Ali to mean that mutah was banned in general while domestic donkey meat was banned on Khaibar.

There for it is incorrect to take proof from the narrations of prohibition and one will practice upon those narrations regarding which there is consensus of the Shia. What is Taqiyyah? Time is not sufficient to delve into its details nor is it the place. However, one should understand that the concept of Taqiyyah is a tool of the Shia, which they use whenever and wherever they wish to deviate from the truth and counter those narrations of the Imams, that oppose their beliefs.

After this clarification, to insist on permitting it in current conditions and to claim that it is the decree of Allah is an outright innovation. Whenever a man would go to a town where he had no acquaintances, he would marry a woman for the period he thought he would be residing in that town. She would safeguard his belongings and prepare meals for him. Later when the verses:. And why are they not ashamed of the adultery committed by their caliph and beloved sahabi?

Nawasib such as Ansar. But before we go any further, let us just enlighten our readers about the importance of this book in Sunni sect:. Abu Jaffar Muhammad bin Habib Baghdadi d. Al-Muhbar, Volume 1 page The first has been mistakenly written as Khalid which actualy is Jabir as pointed out in the footnotes of the book. Whilst there shoud be no need to enlighten our readers about the Sunni Imam Saeed bin Jubayr, let us cite the comments recorded by Imam Ibn Hajar Asqalani about him.

Do Nawasib know more about the validity of Mutah than their Imam? And if it was really forbidden do Nawasib want to suggest that their praised Imam was an adulterer naudobillah? Alhamdulilah Shia do not ascribe to such views about Saeed bin Jubayr. Ibn Abi Malika d. We read in Muwatta of Malik, Book 28, Number We read the following authentic tradition in Sunni works wherein Abdullah Ibn Umar openly pointed out the fact that his father had the audacitiy to change the Islamic rulings thus going against the Holy Prophet s with respect to Mutah al-Hajj:.

Sunan Tirmidi, Hadith Abdullah b. We said: Should we not have ourselves castrated? And this is a sign that he believed in its legitimacy just like what was said by Ibn Abbas and he did not preach its abrogation. In Tafsir Dur al-Manthur and other books we read the words of Maula Ali as that we cited previously as well:.

Tafseer Durre Manthur, Volume 2 page 2. Tafseer Gharaib al Quran, Volume 3 page 6 pt 5 3. Tafseer Tabari, Volume 4 page 10 4. Tafseer Kabeer, Volume 3 page 95 5. Kanz ul Umaal, Hadith 7. Musanaf Abdul Razaq, Volume 7 page Hadith 8. Suyuti is a renowned Sunni Scholar and his virtues are expounded in detail in the book of Rijjal.

In his Tafseer he states that he compiled this Tafseer with good chains he found. Maula Ali deemed this to be clear deviation and deemed Umar to have perpetuated a major sin, and was in effect responsible for people fornicating. That means whatever is said; the results are based on the condition s specified. The POINT here was, it is apparently clear and commonly known by every knowing and wise person that sexual needs are natural.

No one has denied it and no one can deny it. To put it simply, people who were unable to find a life long commitment Perm. Marriage and yet it could not curb their sexual needs, had a blessing from Allah [swt] to perform Nikah Mutah there may be other reasons also and avoid fornication.

Having that blessing no one would have committed fornication except people who flagrantly disobey Allah [swt] anyway. It is like you make unlawful to work, people will EAT whether they are working or not, meaning either they will work to earn their bread or they will steal.

You can not put natural requirements in a box and not provide a lawful way to fulfil those requirements.

The author clearly has no idea what he is talking about. The book was compiled centuries later by Sayyid Ar-Razi. Compared to other hadeeth collections, it is one of the shortest. Indeed, this hadeeth is an authentic narration. The increasingly favourite Nasibi author of www.

Salamah had to gone through by raising the stupid objection cited above. Again, there are no records of such abrogation. Once again, the later coming Nasibi author on the internet namely Ibn al-Hashimi copy pasted the same pathetic arguments of Dr.

Salamah without using his own brain. We read in Musnaf Abdulrazaq, Volume 7 page Tradition Then he Umar asked him Amr and he replied with clear answer. And that was when he Umar prohibited it. Jabir bin Abdullah: A Sahabi. Let us also present the testimony of the Sahabi Jabir. Taqrib al-Tahdib, p Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal, Volume 3 page Tradition While citing the innovations of Umar, the seventh innovation that Allamah Jalaluddin Suyuti records is:.

It is been said that he gave his children the names of his wives to avoid marrying any woman his father had previously married.

How can a Sunni scholar that fornicates with seventy women be graded as a very reliable authority? Although the name of the book Al-Hidayah requires no introduction on its authenticity in the eyes of Ahle-Sunnah for the benefit of our readers and most importantly, to nullify any attempt by Nawasib to cast doubts on the authenticity of the reference cited, let us mention that this book is compared with Quran among Ahle Sunnah, as we read:.

Oh you, the rational ones, you must preserve it and be with it, because who ever reached to it in fact he reached to the maximum goals. That is what Allamah al-Hadad said in his margin on the book al-Hidayah. Likewise, Mutah was a hobby of the pagan Arabs. Hence, it was not forbidden in the beginning. This is because Islam was in a transitional stage. They were often in times of war away from their wives, in which their desires got the best of them since they were not accustomed to the chastity of Islam.

The Hadith forbidding Mutah are considered Mutawattir , meaning that they have been transmitted so many times and by so many people that there is no doubt as to their authenticity. The Messenger of Allah had forbidden or abolished temporary marriage, its marriage and its divorce, its waiting period, and its inheritance. I swear by Allah, ready to fulfil my oath, that if I find any person who engages in temporary marriage without having ratified this with a proper marriage, I will have him lashed stripes unless he can bring two witnesses to prove that the Messenger had permitted it after forbidding it.

The Messenger of Allah forbade Mutah marriage and the meat of domestic donkeys at the time of Khaybar. According to another report, he forbade Mutah marriage at the time of Khaybar and he forbade the meat of tame donkeys.

But we had not even left the city [yet] when it was prohibited by the Messenger of Allah. The Shorter Encyclopedia of Islam also states that Mutah was a common practice among Arab travelers and goes back to the fourth century:.

Caetani also concluded that Mutah in the pagan period was religious prostitution that took place during the occasion of pilgramage. Thus, Mutah 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 Shia widely quote Hadith in relation to these events to support their continued belief in Mutah.
