Some people spuriously criticize the Shias for permitting temporary
marriage while they think that it is a ruling that has been repealed.
The answer
Allah says:
The Holy Qur’an has permitted temporary marriage.
... then as to such wives as you enjoy thereby, give
them their dowries as approportionate. (4:24)
No Qur’anic verse has repealed this form of marriage. Apart
from this, it has not been proven that the Prophet (s) had ever repealed it.
The author of Jami’ul-Usul vol. 12 p. 135 (tradition
No. 8953) quotes Jabir bin Abdullah from the Sahih of Muslim as saying, “We
practised temporary marriage for a handful of dates and flour during the time of
the Prophet and the time of Abu Bakr until Umar forbade it because of the
problem of Amr bin Hurayth.”
He also recorded in vol. 3 p. 465 (tradition No. 1406):
“In the Sahih of Muslim and the Sahih of an-Nassa’i, there was another
tradition that relates Abu Dharr as saying, ‘The two pleasures (mut’atan) are
not applicable except for us.’
He meant that of the temporary marriage and that
of hajj.”
Ar-Razi mentioned, in his Tafsir vol. 10 p. 25:
“The third evidence on permitting temporary marriage is based
upon that which Umar (may Allah be
pleased with him) said from atop
the minbar (pulpit) ‘Two pleasures were permissible at the time of the
Prophet but now I forbid them; the pleasure of hajj and the temporary marriage.’
This confirms that temporary marriage was
permissible in the time of the Prophet (s). Umar’s saying ‘I forbid
them’ indicates that it was not the Prophet but Umar who repealed them. Thus
proven, we can say that this is a proof of the fact that temporary
marriage had ben permissible during the time of the Prophet and that he (s) did
not repeal it, but Umar did. Therefore, Umar’s repeal is invalid. This was the evidence
that Imran
bin Husayn cited with when He said: “Allah revealed a Qur’anic verse about
temporary marriage and He had not repealed it by any other verse. The Prophet (s)
ordered us to practise temporary
marriage and he did not forbid it. But someone gave his opinion as he liked -he
meant that Umar forbade it-.”
These have been some ways of proving the legality of the
temporary marriage.
