The questioner:
What is the ruling on marrying with the intention of divorce out of necessity for one who studies abroad and fears fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)?
The Shaykh:
This is a form of mut'ah. This is a spiritual mut'ah, where he marries for the sake of desire. If she is good for him, he stays with her; if she is not good for him, he divorces her. So he does not need to marry with the intention of divorce. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Then this involves deceiving the woman, as you marry her for a permanent marriage while you intend it to be a temporary one. This is deception. Yes.
