What I would do to get 1 more "MONDAY NIGHTS WITH MUFTI" 😭

[jenny-DD]

This Mufti saved me from leaving Islam

[fifafreebies]

Both sunnis and shia agree mutah was allowed in early islam. but sunnis (generally) believe it is abrogated whereas shia believe it is not abrogated. but even in sunni books it is mentioned that certain sahaba and tabieen belived it was halal like Jabir, Ibn Abbas and Asma bint Abu bakr etc from sahaba and tawoos, ibn jurayj and Saeed bin Jubair etc . Mutah cant be classed as zina as zina is considered a فَـٰحِشَةًۭ (immorality) in the Quran . And the shariah will never promote فَـٰحِشَةًۭ . And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality ( فَـٰحِشَةًۭ )and is evil as a way. 17:32 Quran

[DarioHaruni]

Ibn Jurayj, whose alleged tafsir is the earliest we have, advocated for Mut'ah marriage and he contracted about 60-70 Mut'ah marriages.

[khadijatulkubra]

As mufti says if you agree or disagree, you are entitled to either view. If one feels mutah is wrong then nikkah misyar should be too. Marriage is a contract and just like any other contracts, one is inclined to think the same rules apply. I can see pros and cons of both so I'm happy to stick to the standard contract where marriage is for life 💓

[noamansattar]

After listening to this..
How can now one trust sunni (deobandi & barelvi) ulema regarding mutah.
They used to curse Shia due to this.
Sunni ulema also used to curse life insurance, tv, jeans, short beard, niqab less women etc. But all these are widely accepted now.
MUFTI: plz elaborate on these issues

[sparephone]

It is interesting that Muhammad Asad in his entire tafseer of the Qur'aan never once mentions the concept of 'mutah' because it was never the practice of the Prophet[saw]. What it seems to me is that it is better than prostitution, but completly ignores the Qur'aan, where marriage requires a dowry and witnesses and for a man and women to divorce [talaq] there is a waiting period of 3 monthly menstrual cycles, since the point of the waiting period is to see if the woman is pregnant and alllows the couple to make a more reasoned decision if they really want to divorce. Based on the spirit of the legal injuctions in the Qur'aan, 'mutah' marriage is not in the best interests of Muslims today.

[swordoftree]

Reminds me of when you talk to women about polygamy they turn around and say, "Would you like it if a woman has more than one man?"

[achannel]

"If divorce is halal then why don't you divorce your wife". That's the logic of the idiots who say "then give me your sister".

[talharahman]

Mutaah is better than total Zina that's for sure. Offcourse people misuse Mutaah. I think Mutaah should only be illegal in countries where Permanent marriage has no bad outcomes if divorce happens such as Alimony and forced Child-Benefit. But I think Mutaah as a means to get to know a woman temporarily before you marry her permanently.

[ninjadebruyns]

I would like honest scholars not infected with the need to apologise for the legalities in the Q to do the following: 1. Discuss the law in the Q in terms of itself without the Abassid era of innovations. 2. Discuss the law in the the traditions in terms of itself without conflating it with the Q. 3. Discuss the legal tradition in terms of itself. Because it is obvious that those are three entirely separate things. For example, by definition in the Q zina is adultery and it doesn't have fornication. Yet, it is not conceived of like that in the legal tradition. Also obvious in the Q is that one could marry the captive but required her permission, yet in the legal tradition one doesn't require the permission of the captive. Also, the words for slave, and that which your right hand possess isn't synonymous in the Q but is in the legal tradition. Meaning, in the legal tradition the doorway to concubinage is slavery. Not so in the Q. The doorway to that in the Q is consent. There are scores upon scores of issues that must be ironed out. What about the issue of abrogated verses that are law making. Isn't that similar to refusing to obey the laws of the Q? Or is it because the Q contradicts itself (and I have read it hundreds of time, it most certainly doesn't).

[TehDwelleR]

agreed..

As Shaafi says there’s a valid ikhtelaf on it

Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said: i don’t say it is haram but i forbid myself from it.

ibn ashur, shawkani too i think, many malikis and sunni scholars approve.

it’s first time of shears rhet ibn taimiyahs grandad approved. salafis punching the air rn.

Ibn taimiyah did say it is not repulsive to fitrah else it wouldn’t have been halal in the prophetic times

[JhutaNabi]

The doctrine of Mut’ah is very confusing.
If Mut’ah is haram, where in the Quran has it been declared so?
Now, if it is made haram outside of the Quran then on what basis can something outside the eternal word of Allah overrule what Allah said?
Also, how is Mut’ah, if agreed to by both parties, practice-wise any different from prostitution in other cultures? Or, mizya for that matter? Peeling back all the surrounding each, seems like the end game is sex.

[noorahamid]

On another not: Mufti, will you be commenting on Daniel's recent debate with saffiyah and his sexist views on education for women?

[fuadyunus]

Just how migrating to dar ul kufr, dar ul harb, dar ul fitnah, dar ul fassad, got sugar coated to being "permissible" even though MUSLIMS wholeheartedly know & acknowledge that they are the second if not third class citizens in those countries!

Just like that, based on necessity and given situations, let mut'ah be a thing!

[hakunamatata]

Whats the difference between Mutah and zina? Is there any? If so, plz explain. Don't waste your time quoting so and so.

[onnixchaney]

Salam alaykum I hope this finds you well.
What is the name of the book, Could you provide a link to it?

[florin-m]

Assalamu Alaykum, can I please get your discord server's invite?

[khadijatulkubra]

What many don't realise that Sunnis have nikkah misyar, which is still practised today. The only difference between nikkah misyar and mutah, is that women knows when contract will end with mutah, whereas with misyar contract can end without women knowing. As I was mentioning this mufti just touched upon it. With Nikkah misyar women also give up many of their rights. Sometimes we have practices that are similar to others, but are quick to pass judgement 💓
