Temporary Marriage & Its Illegtimacy in <strong>Islam</strong><br />

Page 3 of 4<br />

Abu Dawood and Imam Ahmad]<br />

According to Abu Huraira (r.a.a.), the Messenger of Allah had forbidden or abolished temporary<br />

marriage, its marriage and its divorce, its waiting period, and its inheritance. [narrated by DarQutny,<br />

Ishaq Bin Rahwiya, and Ibn Habban]<br />

Abu Bakr Bin Hafs reported according to Ibn 'Umar who said: "When Ali was given the Caliphate, he<br />

thanked Allah Most High and praised Him and said: 'O people, the Messenger of Allah had<br />

permitted temporary marriage three times then forbade it. I swear by Allah, ready to fulfil my oath,<br />

that if I find any person who engages in temporary marriage without having ratified this with a proper<br />

marriage, I will have him lashed 100 stripes unless he can bring two witnesses to prove that the<br />

Messenger had permitted it after forbidding it.' " [Ibn Majah]<br />

Imam Muslim has narrated that according to Mohammad Bin 'Abdullah Bin Numayr who said: "My<br />

father had narrated to us according to 'Ubaidullah according to Ibn shahab according to Alhassan<br />

and 'Abdullah the sons of Mohammad Bin 'Ali according to their father according to 'Ali (r.a.a.) that<br />

he heard Ibn 'Abbas (r.a.a.) being lenient towards temporary marriage, so he said, 'wait Ibn 'Abbas,<br />

the Messenger of Allah had forbidden it on the day of Khaybar when he also prohibited the meat<br />

of domestic camels.' "<br />

This evidences illustrates the correctness of the consensus about its prohibition. Particularly as<br />

'Umar Ibnul Khattab (r.a.a.) had mentioned its prohibition from the pulpit and stated its punishment,<br />

and reminded the congregation that the Messenger of Allah had prohibited it and strongly<br />

admonished against it, this was at the presence of both the migrants and the supporters, and none<br />

disputed it with him or differed with him, knowing well their care and attention to make sure that the<br />

truth is always revealed, and any error is corrected as they had done with respect to other issues.<br />

Furthermore, the prohibition has been reported according to a number of companions other than<br />

'Umar.<br />

Its prohibition has been reported according to 'Ali Bin Abi Taleb, 'Abdullah Bin 'Umar, 'Abdullah Bin<br />

Mas'ud, 'Abdullah Bin Alzubayr, 'Abdullah Bin 'Abbas who when reminded of its prohibition also<br />

supported the prohibition when he understood the references of the others. This is also the<br />

understanding of the followers, the scholars, and all the Imams. They were all unanimous on this<br />

issue.<br />

To cap the research, below are the opinions of the four Imams; these will leave no excuse for any.<br />

Hanafi Mazhab: stated in Fathul Qadir that the temporary marriage is void, and defined this<br />

marriage as a man saying to a woman I will enjoy you so many times for a certain sum of money.<br />

He also said in AlHashia after dealing with the two different types of temporary marriage, that it is a<br />

contract with a woman which is formed with the intention of not providing se curity or fosterage for a<br />

child, instead it is for a fixed period, and the marriage ends with this period, or a non fixed period<br />

based on the person's stay with the wife until he decides to leave, and then the contract is ended.<br />

Shafi'i Mazhab: temporary marriage is a marriage for a period, so if it was requested of a guardian to<br />

marry his ward for a month, this would be a void marriage.<br />

Maliki Mazhab: temporary marriage is one for a term, as if saying to the guardian allow me to marry<br />

your ward for a month for such a fee, if they agree, the marriage would be void and both spouses<br />

would be liable to a penalty. This marriage is ended without a divorce, regardless of whether it is<br />

before consummation or after.<br />

Hanbali Mazhab: Temporary marriage is a marriage for a term whether fixed or not, there is no<br />

difference whether it is labelled as a marriage or not, where the man says to the woman allow me to<br />

enjoy you, she says I give you myself for enjoyment, without a guardian or two witnesses. The<br />

temporary marriage raises two issues. One for a fixed term having a guardian and two witnesses, or<br />

one called enjoyment not having a guardian or witnesses. In both cases it is void.<br />
