Contract . Mut'a (Temporary marriage) . Life Expectancy

Bismihi ta'ala

Assuming you are 18+, and if you do a mut'ah contract with a duration of 99 years, it would mean you've lived over 120 years, and if both of you are still verbal and cognizant, once the duration of contract finishes, it you become non-mahram to each other again.

You will need to do another mut'ah contract should you wish to stay together, or nullify it, if still within duration.

The way you nullify it is for male to say to the female "I free you for the remaining period".

There is nothing in our authentic books called Misyar marriage. This name was been used recently by some of our Sunni brothers for certain type of marriage which does not need staying together.

Girl . Father . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Is it permissible to seek a different Wali or allow the girl to make her own choice if the father opposes temporary marriage and is unwilling to consider it?

Wali of virgin girl is her real father or her paternal grand father. No one else can be Wali for virgin girl. If the father opposes a marriage with a comparable Momin for no valid reason, and the girl needs the marriage to protect herself from sin, then she can refer to her Marje' of Taqleed to seek his verdict in such situation.

You don't have to inform her.

Unless the woman with whom you want to engage in temporary marriage is a Christian or Jew and you have a permanent or temporary Muslim wife. In such a case according to Sayyed Sistani you have to take your Muslim wife's consent.

Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage) . Consummation

Is consent of the father mandatory for Mutah if she is financially independent and we do not plan to consummate?

Bismihi ta'ala

This topic has been addressed a few times in this platform, and I recommend you have a look at previous answers.

Financial independence is not enough for her to not need consent in doing mut'ah. Please refer to the details of this.

Of course, besides the shar'i side of this, one must also look at the social implications, and it is very important to observe what would be good for her and her future.

Contract . Mut'a (Temporary marriage) . Marriage . Iftar

What should I do if I am currently in a Muta contract for 2 years but want to marry her before the contract ends? Should I terminate the Muta contract and how may I do so?

Bismihi ta'ala

You must free her for the remaining period, then do the permanent Nikah. You say to her "I free you for the remaining period," then she becomes non mahram, and then you can do the Nikah. She does not need to observe 'iddah period as well, because she was with the same person, yourself.

Husband . Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Is there an Islamic explanation as to why my husband believed he could engage in Mutah with other women without my consent, causing me significant distress?

Allah Who Created man and woman and e very thing, Knows their needs and requirements, hence He Sent the True Religion (Islam) with the most comprehensive rules covering every area in life. Rules of marriage of man and woman have details and contains conditions. Needs of man are not always similar to the Needs of woman and this is the reason of the difference in some rules for men and women. Mut’ah marriage has many conditions and it aims to save people from sins. Husband in any case is not allowed to hurt the feelings of his wife and he must treat her as he treats himself as a respected human being.

Contract . Time . Mahr . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

If I unintentionally omitted mentioning the time period for the temporary marriage contract, does it automatically become permanent or does my intention play a role in determining its duration?

If the time period was not mentioned in the contract, it becomes permanent according to many scholars, that is why you need to recite Talaq in front of two pious witnesses when she is not in her menses to terminate that contract. After that divorce, you both can read a temporary marriage mentioning the Mahr and period.

Marriage . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

How can temporary marriage be conducted in the modern era? Can you illustrate with a few examples?

Temporary marriage is conducted in the modern era just like permanent marriage is conducted with slight differences between the temporary and permanent marriage. Both types of marriage need agreement between both man and woman, woman should not be presently married or during Iddah period. Mahr (Dowry) is must from the man to the woman. Permanent marriage end on valid divorce or death, while temporary marriage ends in the end of the agreed period of it or by leaving the remaining period by the husband.

'In temporary marriage, both man and woman agree on a period of the marriage as well as the Mahr of the marriage. She tell him: Zawwajtoka Nafsi ALAL Mahril Ma'loom lilmuddatil Ma'loomah. He replies her: Qabiltu Al-Tazweej LINAFSI lilmuddatil Ma'loomah ALAL Mahril Ma;loom.

Iddah . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

After my husband and I obtained Khula, following a year of marriage with regular intimacy, I am currently observing Iddat for 3 months. Post this time, is it necessary to acquire my father's consent for engaging in Mut'ah?

Bismihi ta'ala

From a shar'i perspective, you do not need consent from your father, but I would advice you against engaging in mut'ah, and focus on recovering from the previous relationship, and hopefully finding new marriage.

As a society, one who engages in such things becomes less wanted for marriage, and our Islamic values require that we stay chaste and modest, aiming at building a family.

Also, although shar'i wise, you do not need your father's consent, but ethically, morally and socially, involving family in these things is definitely important.

Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Is it permissible for a Muslim man to engage in Mutah with a Muslim woman who is living with a non-Muslim man without being married to him?

Bismihi ta'ala

This Muslim woman should not be living with a non-Mahram person anyway. So, she needs to remove herself from that situation.

As for the man doing mut'ah with her, that's going to be between them, and if they both meet the valid /halal requirements for it.

And Allah knows best
