Mutah Nikah: Dr Israr Ahmad Bayan - Temporary Marriage?

Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the Islamic perspective on *mutah*, a temporary marriage contract. He clarifies that while pre-marital interaction is permissible within limits, a marriage contract intended for a limited duration is considered unlawful in Sunni Islam. He explains that historical practice in some regions led to misuse of the concept, extending it to practices considered illegitimate. The lecture emphasizes the necessity of a lifelong commitment in a valid Islamic marriage, contrasting it with temporary arrangements. Dr. Ahmad also notes that while the prohibition of *mutah* wasn't widely publicized, it was strictly enforced during the era of Hazrat Umar. He further explains that *mutah* is permissible within Shia Islam.
