What is the ruling on misyar marriage?

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on *zawaj al-musyar* (a marriage with reduced obligations)?

Answer:
*Zawaj al-musyar* does not fulfill the intended purposes of marriage; it is only for satisfying sexual desire. And where do the children born between the two spouses go? Who takes responsibility for them? The woman needs a husband who looks after her, provides for her, and protects her from being left to her own devices, and the children need someone to raise them with their father.
He does not leave them with their mother, and he does not know where they go. This *zawaj al-musyar* does not fulfill the required purposes of marriage; rather, its purpose is to satisfy sexual desire and give the woman freedom. The aim of that freedom is to take the woman out of the husband's control, which is contrary to what the Shari'ah brought. The Shari'ah places the wife under the care of the husband, . Yes.
