PROSTITUTION BY ANY OTHER NAME: MUTA MARRIAGE
“Muta Marriage” is a short term contractual relationship, lasting hours or a few days, where the man gives something of value to a woman and they “marry” and engage in sex for an agreed length of time. Once the contractual time expires the marriage is over and they go their own ways. This is legalized Islamic prostitution. Men get satisfaction and women get something of value, be it money, or clothing, or even a Quranic recital.
Narrated Abdullah: We used to participate in the holy wars carried on by the Prophet and we had no women (wives) with us. So we said (to the Prophet ). “Shall we castrate ourselves?” But the Prophet forbade us to do that and thenceforth he allowed us to marry a woman (temporarily) by giving her even a garment, and then he recited: “O you who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you.” Bukhari: Volume 6, Book 60, Number 139.
Temporary “Muta” marriage is practiced today and often arranged by Imams and other Islamic leaders in Europe (the city centre’s where Shia Muslims cluster), America (Shia parts of Dearborn, Michigan), and of course in the Mideast. The most common victims of Muta marriage are destitute widows and orphaned girls who are sold to old men. These females are driven to extreme means to pay rent and feed themselves and their children. These females are abused by both the men who purchase them and the Islamic leaders. Muhammad’s system allows them to be abandoned and then exploited rather than responding with charity and compassion.
Sunni Muslims do not normally practice Muta marriage. But many Sunni Muslims today are ashamed of what Muhammad did because they know that Muhammad allowed prostitution to satisfy his men’s wants. And that’s the same story with Muhammad again and again. Like Felix and his bag of tricks, Muhammad always managed to pull a “revelation” out of thin air and change the rules of the game. If one reads the “Sirat Rasulallah”, (“The Life of Muhammad”, by A. Guillaume), one will find that Muhammad allowed, then disallowed, then allowed, then disallowed Muta marriage, etc. several times. Muhammad’s rules and religion depended on circumstances, not on God’s will.

It is not only disobedient and disgraceful to have an opinion about matter that has been decided by Allah, it shows that most people really do not know this religion, Islam, and they do not read the Qur’an just like a lot of christians don’t read the bible.
Al-Ahzab (The Confederates)33:36 reads:
Now whenever God and His Apostle have decided a matter, it is not for a believing man or a believing woman to claim freedom of choice insofar as they themselves are concerned: for he who [thus] rebels against God and His Apostle has already, most obviously, gone astray.
Whenever there is an argument about a matter among Muslims. The truthseeker should ask, can you prove your argument? I have done that on this topic and here are my results:
An-Nisa (The Women)4:24, if this is not clear just open your Qur’an.
وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاء إِلاَّ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ كِتَابَ اللّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأُحِلَّ لَكُم مَّا وَرَاء ذَلِكُمْ أَن تَبْتَغُواْ بِأَمْوَالِكُم مُّحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحِينَ فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهِ مِنْهُنَّ فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً وَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا تَرَاضَيْتُم بِهِ مِن بَعْدِ الْفَرِيضَةِ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا (4:24)
An-Nisa (The Women)4:24 reads:
And [forbidden to you are] all married women other than those whom you rightfully possess [through wedlock]: this is God’s ordinance, binding upon you. But lawful to you are all [women] beyond these, for you to seek out, offering them of your possessions, taking them in honest wedlock, and not in fornication. And unto those with whom you desire to enjoy marriage, you shall give the dowers due to them; but you will incur no sin if, after [having agreed upon] this lawful due, you freely agree with one another upon anything [else]: behold, God is indeed all-knowing, wise.
In the above translation , the word Istamtatum is the translation of “enjoy marriage” In Arabic you look up a word’s meaning by the root. I was at an Islamic instituion for 4 years. But if you do not understand, ask anyone who can read the Arabic to read it to you and you will hear the word “Istamtatum”, the root is MTA(meem ta ein).
Without even looking anything up in the Arabic dictionary, this looks like MUTA without the u, do you believe your own eyes when you see something or are you among the deaf, dumb, and blind Allah speaks about in the Quran. When you look up MTA(meem ta ein)in the Arabic dictionary, the meaning is temporary marriage.
Without MUTA, society are heavy fornicators and adulterers. I young man not ready for permanent marriage, for example, may not be finacially stable until he is 25-30, can he abstain that long? Or are you saying fornication is better than a marriage of any sort. Think about what you say and do not speak without knowledge on matters lest you earn Allah’s displeasure.

it is unfair to tell a definition of certain terminology, translate the description and give a biased judgement.
It would be a real professional handling , if the publisher reported the islamic meaning practice and legal registration of this type of marriage.
Further, when the reporter indicated the cluster existance of certain community at North America and appointed certain practice as common is purely un-professional method.
PRASAD // February 20, 2007 at 5:44 am |
Dear Readers,
To understand any subject,one needs a deep knowledge of the same failing which one would be shooting in the dark with tit bit knowledge.
Muta marriage has been practised since times immemorial & it is certainly a form of sanctified marriage albeit the time factor.
Unfortunately same is practised for hours or few days on which i would not like to pass any comment.
Both man & woman entering the muta marriage is fully aware of their purposes.Nobody exploits anybody & everyone is a matured adult in this relationship (hopefully atleast 99%)
In no way Muta marriage can be called prostitution or degraded.One should refrain unnecessary callings.
One should not be biased about anything of this sort & one should gain in depth knowledge of same.
best regards/prasad
This is my opinion -pls accept or leave it.

you are mistaken about a few points.
- Mut’ah marriage does not necessarily involve.
the mur’ah contract is made up of two parts.
1. the conditons of the mariage wich is set by the woman
2. the acceptance of the conditions by the man
that is to say if a woman just wants to get to know a guy and only wants to be with him in public (movie, coffee house, ect..) then she can specify that in the mut’ah condition. It is then up to the man to either accept the conditions set out by her and marry or refuse it and find someone else.
the 2nd point is that Mutah marriage is not arranged by anyone except the parties involved i.e. man and woman. third parties are not required although they are optional.
I’ve only mentioned two conditions above but There are other conditions in order for the marriage to be valid. Please review the book “marriage and morals in islam” by sayyid M. Rizvi
John // June 10, 2007 at 4:31 am |
Just to add something:
1: Mut’ah is allowed just like the issue of four wives but how many really have and meets the requriremtns for haveing four wives. This issue is another misunderstood points by those not Musims.
2: Islam also recommends patiance, fasting, piety before doing Mut’ah if one can not waite or is going to sin then Mut’ah is allowed.
Thanks,
John

As’salamu Alaikum,
Muta is a marriage that doesn’t have to end in divorce. Divorce is highly detested by Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran and the Hadiths (Sayings) of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/muta.htm to see the clear-cut evidence for yourself.
Muta came to solve social problems that the early Muslims faced. They were:
1- Sexually open and immoral people during their paganistic and ignorance days.
2- They traveled on foot to long periods of times (long months) to spread Islam, either by defending themselves from the enemy or by doing peaceful Islamic Propagation work.
The Shias’ Muta is a marriage that is destined for divorce. Irresponsible divorce will bring sin upon the man and/or woman:
2:236 لاجناح عليكم ان طلقتم النساء مالم تمسوهن او تفرضوا لهن فريضة ومتعوهن على الموسع قدره وعلى المقتر قدره متاعا بالمعروف حقا على المحسنين
“You bear no sin if you divorce your wives AS LONG AS YOU HAVEN’T (ma-lam) had (a sexual) contact (with them), and before settling (the amount of) the nuptial premium (for them). Yet, you should make provisions for them (even then); the affluent in keeping with his means, and the poor according to what he can afford. A fair provision is an obligation upon the pious. (The Noble Quran, 2:236)”
Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/muta_forbidden_with_shias.htm for AMPLE MORE references from the Noble Quran and the Hadiths.
Osama
Osama Abdallah // June 27, 2007 at 9:18 pm |
As’salamu Alaikum again,
Regarding Noble Verse 4:24 above that the Shia posted, notice that Allah Almighty NEVER mentioned any divorce in it.
I rest my case. The Shias are evil according to the Noble Quran and the Hadiths as I’ve demonstrated above, and even more in my article.

I cant belive the non-sense you people waste your time on.
Simple reasoning should lead you to the conclusion that Muta (temp marriage) is not right and thus not allowed,people should stop splitting hairs and use their minds to intepret religion.
Key Issues to consider:
If temporary marrige is allowed,what will happen if one has a child from such acts,does the father bear the financial responsibility.
The underlying fundamentals for having a temporary marriage just dont hold,you dont have to be a religious scholar to figure out that ,things arent holding well with this theory.
A lot of hadith are not legitimate because they were recorded generations after the Prophet passed away,clearly there was room for people to change the hadiths for personal gains be it social,economic,etc.I’d suggest that people self-evalue hadith to determine their authenticity coz a lot of hadith seem very suspiscious and are propably fabricated,a lot of us view the people of the past of having such great iman that they wouldn’t fabricate hadith,this is is an immature perception,muslims back in the days had their own issues just like we do now,no one can evalue someone’s iman,only Allah knows what is in our hearts,lest we 4get,they had a fair share of hypocrites among the muslim ummah during those times.

that is funny..i am a sunni girl ..i felt shocked when i read in ur article that sunni shareya allows muta marriage!!!!! Prophet muhammed himself prevented it !!! and ur saying that he allowed it!!! shame on you whoever wrote this article …go get educated first before talking about things u have no idea about ,
shia invented this thing to satisfy their primal animal needs!!!
Ahmed // October 6, 2008 at 11:43 am |
Every thing regarding Prophet Muhammed (S W S) in this article is wrong. All those people who call themself Muslim should take a lesson or two and stop doing bad things in the name of Islam. There are many Arabs who became rich by Oil and starting behaving like animals then selected a religious name to this behaviour. Islam does not allow any form of exploitation.

Dears all Assalaam O Alaikum,
I am a shia muslim, but i am really sorry to say that instead there are some of our brothers which are not taking this problem as a problem of Islam but amusing themselves by talking some non sense.
Actually Muta was halaal before the second caliph hazrat Umer r.a in the time of prophet Muhammad and it was allowed during some battles of islaam when some Sahaba r.a said to prophet to that,,shall we castrate ourselves?
Muhammad s.a.w said no, you can arrange a teporary marriage with some widowers .
Dears do,nt blame any fiqah untill you have 100% proof realities,
After that it was (muta)prohibited in the time of hazrat Umer r.a due to some reasons and till now not considered good in pakistan even in shia community.
Thanks a lot and GOD bless to all readers,

If any community allows it, I ask one question to that community, will they allow their widow mothers and sisters to enter in Muta contract?
Zia Husaini // September 6, 2009 at 5:46 am |
Did any Imam among 12ers peformed the Muta or allowed to their followers?
husain wahidi // September 6, 2009 at 5:55 am |
Will any body allow his widow mother and sister to enter in Muta contract
Shariq Naqvi // September 6, 2009 at 6:01 am |
It has now become a common practice among shia that if anything they listen that Umar allowed anything they disallow it. If they heard Umar disallowed then they allowed atleast in their books. This MUTA is not practiced even in Iran. But the scholars try to make it JAIZ.

This is absurd. People are coming into open and talking some thing in an unpleasant manner. Responses and rejoinders are not in good tast and uncivilized. Pl raise the matter before the elders in the religion or before the appropriate fora and don’t keep it open to discussion by all and sundry.
