Gracious, Most Merciful
Temporary Marriages - Halaala or Muta/Mutah

Concept of Marriage:
No Marriage is Marriage if it is
for fixed period of time:
In
Islaam, marriage is a blessed permanent contract between a man and a
woman for the whole life, in which each becomes
“permitted” to the
other, and they begin the long journey of life in a spirit of love,
cooperation, harmony and tolerance, where each feels at ease with the
other, and finds tranquility, contentment and comfort in the company of
the other. The Quraan has described this relationship between men and
women, which brings love, harmony, trust and compassion, in the most
moving and eloquent terms.
And among His Signs is this, that He
created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in
tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your
[hearts], (Al_Quraan_030:021).
This is the strongest of bonds,
in which Allah unites the two Muslim partners, who come together on the
basis of love, understanding, co-operation and mutual advice, and
establish a Muslim family in which children will live and grow up, and
they will develop the good character and behavior taught by Islaam. The
Muslim family is the strongest component of a Muslim society when its
members are productive and constructive, helping and encouraging one
another to be good and righteous, and competing with one another in
good works.
Remember: the
purpose of Marriage is not to do
Divorce rather it is the worse hated Halaal, which Allah
has made
lawful to us, in an extremely difficult situation.
Married
Life comes under the Boundary Limit made by Allah:
Divorce
may be (pronounced) TWICE, then keep (them) in good fellowship or let
(them) go with kindness; and it is not lawful for you to take any part
of what you have given them, unless both fear that they cannot keep
within the limits of Allah; then if you fear that they cannot keep
within the limits of Allah, there is no blame on them for what she
gives up to become free thereby.
These are the limits
of Allah, so do
not exceed them and whoever exceeds the limits of Allah these it is
that are the unjust, (Al_Quraan_002.229).
Spouses
are a signs of Allah for Rest, Love and Compassion:
And
one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that
you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion;
most
surely there are
signs in this for a people who reflect,
(Al_Quraan_030.021).
Help
Singles to Get Marry. It is one of the Order of Allah:
You
shall help/encourage those of you who are single to get married. They
may marry the righteous among your male and female servants, if they
are poor. Allah will enrich them from His grace. Allah is Ample-giving,
Knowing. (Al_Quraan_024.032)
Men protectors and
maintainers of Women: Halaala
or Muta/Mutah are totally opposite to it and is a Rape of Women:
Men
are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah
has given
the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them
from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient,
and guard in (the husband’s) absence what Allah would have them
guarded. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill
conduct, admonish them (first), (next) refuse to share their beds, (and
last) beat them (lightly). But if they return to obedience, seek not
against them means (of annoyance). For Allah is Most High, Great (above
you all), (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.034).
Halaala
or Muta/Mutah (Temporary Marriages):
Since
Halaala or Muta/Mutah is a Marriage for fixed period of time, ranging
from few minutes to several years, so it is invalid and it is a Rape
(Zina). Marriages are with Love, while
Divorces are with Hate. No
sincere husband can divorce her loving wife with true love.
Marriage
comes under boundary limits ordained by Allah, so don’t even think to
play with it.
In Islaam, marriage is a
blessed permanent
contract between a man and a woman for the whole life, in
which each
becomes “permitted” to the other, and they begin the long journey of
life in a spirit of love, cooperation, harmony and tolerance, where
each feels at ease with the other, and finds tranquility, contentment
and comfort in the company of the other. The Quraan has described this
relationship between men and women, which brings love, harmony, trust
and compassion, in the most moving and eloquent terms.
Sincere
Advice to Sisters: Be careful with the man made rules of
Halaala or
Muta/Mutah (Temporary Marriage) and protect all sisters from being
raped by this man made rules.
Please
educate all sisters to protect
them from being Rape.
Why NOT court punish men
and fine them as well if it is really their fault INSTEAD of Women?
Non-Practicing
Muslims are like ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_062.005).
None argue
concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah but those who disbelieve …,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_040.004).
