The Ruling on Marrying with the Intention of Divorce When Traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to another questioner who asks: This person wanted to go abroad, so he wanted to protect himself. He requested to marry there for a specific period, and then divorce this wife without informing her that he would divorce her. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is a betrayal of the woman. He marries her on the surface as if he wants her as a wife, but in his heart he intends to stay with her for a period and then divorce her. The woman wants a husband; she wants marriage, and he did not make this clear to her. This resembles the mut'ah practiced by the Shi'ah, which is forbidden by the consensus of the Muslims. This action is not permissible for them. Why do they not fear Allah the Mighty and Majestic? If they need their wives, they should take them with them, maintaining their rights and caring for them. If this travel is for a legitimate religious need, then he returns and takes his wife with him, or he does not prolong the travel, avoids places of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), avoids gatherings of fitnah, and confines himself to his home, residence, and work. Yes.
