The reason for the prohibition of marriage with the intention of divorce and agreeing on a specific duration

The questioner:
A questioner asks: Honorable Shaykh, he says: You mentioned that in marriage with the intention of divorce, the reason is deceiving the wife and her guardian, but what if they agreed?

The Shaykh:
The reason is that this is one of the reasons, and greater than this is the loss of the children who result from this marriage. Marriage with the intention of divorce results in children; who is responsible for them? They are lost in other countries. They are lost now, complaining about the many children who have no known father, and you are responsible for your children; do not let them be lost like this, as if they were beasts or as if they were… So this entails great harm; it entails the loss of the future of the poor woman. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: What if I agreed with the wife and her guardian to divorce after a certain period? Is that permissible?

The Shaykh:
This would be explicit temporary marriage (mut'ah) if you agreed with them on a specific duration. This is temporary marriage, and it is forbidden by the consensus of the people of the Sunnah and the community. Only the Shi'ah permit it. Yes, and the Shi'ah’s disagreement is not considered, because it is abrogated. It is forbidden by the consensus of the people of the Sunnah. The hadiths regarding the prohibition of temporary marriage are mass-transmitted. Yes.
