Answer:
Muta marriage
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: is the status of
muttha in islam
‘Mutah’
was a term used for a form of ‘temporary’ marriage prevalent in the Days of
Ignorance before Islam, where a man would ‘temporarily’ contract a woman for a
fixed period, fulfil his lust with her, and divorce her at the end of the
agreed period without any responsibility towards the woman whatsoever. This mutually agreed period would be at an
agreed and negotiated price between the man and the woman, for a fixed period of time which could be for
a couple of hours, or days, or weeks, etc. as negotiated.
The
society in the Days of Ignorance before Islam had tried to give a legal ‘veil’
to the abomination of ‘zina’ and prostitution by various means, and the ‘mutah’
was one of such veils! Islam removed all
such veils from the abomination of ‘zina’ and declared that the only legal way
for a man and woman to enjoy conjugal relationships was for the man and woman
to be legally wedded to each other in the ‘nikaah’ contract, where the man
would shoulder the responsibility of a proper marriage. One should note here that it was not Islam
who started or initiated this evil concept of ‘muta’, but it was a system
prevailent in the days of ignorance before Islam. Allah and His Messenger (saws) completely and
absolutely abolished and forbade this evil concept of ‘muta’ for those who
sincerely believed in Allah and the Last Day.
Your Question: is it prohibited in
islam .. if it is tell me how ,, answer me by ... ayaat ans ahadit..
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 23 Surah Muminoon verses 1-7:
1 The Believers must (eventually) win through
2 Those who humble themselves in their prayers;
3 Who avoid vain talk;
4 Who are active in deeds of charity;
5 Who abstain from sex
6 Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the
captives) whom their right hands possess; for (in their case) they are free
from blame
7 But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.527 Narrated
by Ali bin Abi Talib
On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Messenger (saws) forbade the Mut'a
(i.e. temporary marriage), and the eating of donkey-meat.
Beloved
brother in Islam, if any fair-minded person just looks at the system of
‘mutah’, he would conclude that it is nothing but a manifestation of the
abomination of prostitution and nothing else.
Which righteous parent or guardian would allow his daughter or sister to
temporarily have sex with a man in exchange for a material reward?
Prostitution
is described as an act where a woman ‘temporarily’ engages in sexual activity
with a man in return for a negotiated fee.
If one asks oneself what is the difference between prostitution and
‘mutah’, one would find it extremely difficult to differentiate the two terms!
The
concept of ‘muta’ was and is a shallow attempt of what we recognize today as
prostitution; and absolutely all forms of ‘zina’ and prostitution are forbidden
in the deen of Truth called Al-Islam.
The believers who sincerely fear Allah and the Last Day must recognize
and abstain from this and all forms of indecency and ‘fahisha’, and fulfill
their needs only through the legal channel and sacred concept of Islamic
‘nikaah’.
Allah is
our witness, anyone who performs ‘muta’ will be guilty of the grave sin and
evil abomination of ‘zina’ in the sight of Allah Subhanah on the Inevitable Day
of Resurrection!
Islam
recognized the evils of the temporary ‘mutah’ contract, and the Messenger of
Allah (saws) declared the ‘mutah’ absolutely ‘haraam’ for the believers.
Your Question: secondly i want to
know why mattha was ligally announced in islam
Islam did
not start, nor propagate, nor encourage the concept of ‘muta’ marriage; this
concept of temporary marriage was already prevalent in the ‘days of ignorance’
before the advent of Islam. In the 6th
year after migration or Hijrah on the day of the Battle of Khaybar, the
Messenger of Allah (saws) specifically forbade and declared ‘mutah’ marriage as
absolutely haraam for the believers.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.527 Narrated
by Ali bin Abi Talib
On the day of Khaibar, Allah's Messenger (saws) forbade the Mut'a
(i.e. temporary marriage), and the eating of donkey-meat.
Your Question: and atthe end some
sect advocaet that ,, mattha is work as a junction to rejoing the divorced
marrage....
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah Ahzaab verse 36: It
does not behove a believing man and a believing woman that when Allah and His
Messenger have given their decision in a matter, they should exercise an option in that matter
of theirs. For whoever disobeys Allah
and His Messenger, has indeed strayed
into manifest error.
No sect
in Islam, no scholar, no priest, no jurist, absolutely no one has any authority
to advocate something as legal in Islam after the Messenger of Allah (saws)
himself has declared it haraam! Any who
dares to do so has indeed strayed into manifest error.
Your Statement: and they aslo sain
hazraat abu baker daughter also do this
There is
absolutely no evidence in the authentic and established history of the
companions of the Noble Prophet (saws) that the noble and chaste daughters of a
companion of the stature and rank of Hadrat Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r.a.) ever
engaged in the evil concept of ‘mutah’!
It is absolutely inconceivable that the noble and chaste daughters of a
companion who studied and practiced his deen in the ‘university’ of the Prophet
(saws) would even approach something which had been specifically declared as
haraam and forbidden by the Messenger of Allah (saws)!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 24 Surah Noor verse 4: And those who launch a charge against chaste women and produce not
four witnesses (to support their allegation) flog them with eighty stripes: and
reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.840 Narrated
by Abu Huraira
The Prophet (saws) said, "Avoid the seven great destructive
sins." They (the people) asked, "O Allah's Messenger (saws)! What are
they?" He (saws) said, "To
join partners in worship with Allah; to practice sorcery; to kill the life
which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law);
to eat up usury (Riba), to eat up the property of an orphan; to give one's back
to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the time of fighting, and to
accuse chaste women who never even think of anything touching chastity and are
good believers."
Whosoever
accuses chaste women are wicked transgressors in the Sight of the Lord, and
Allah is our witness brother, such wicked transgressors will be held severely
accountable for their false accusation and slander in the Just and Supreme
Court of the Lord Most High on an Inevitable and Tumultuous Day.
If one
trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of
Allah and His Messenger (saws), he can
be assured of never ever being misled;
but if one believes, obeys and
follows any other guidance, other than
that of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
he can be assured of being led astray.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Islam,
