The ruling on marriage for a specific period without the wife’s knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you, Honorable Shaykh Salih. This is a person whose name is symbolized by the letters Sad, Mim, and Ayn. He says: He wanted to go abroad because he was a scholarship recipient, so he wanted to protect his chastity by marrying a woman there for a specific period, and then divorcing this wife without informing her that he would divorce her. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is not permissible because it is a betrayal, a betrayal of the wife and her guardian. He did not inform them of this, or if he did inform them, they might not have wanted this. They married her to him, and the woman married him to stay with him and take care of him, so this action is not permissible. This is a betrayal, and it also resembles temporary marriage (mut'ah); it has a resemblance to the forbidden temporary marriage, which is forbidden by consensus.
