The Ruling on Marriage with the Intention of Divorce

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on what some people do when they travel abroad, where they marry for a limited period and then divorce her, and so on with each of their trips?

Answer:
This is not permissible. They call this *Zawaj al-Musyar* or *Zawaj al-Musafir*. This is not a marriage intended for the purposes of marriage, but rather it is intended solely for sexual desire and is temporary in his intention. As for if he stipulates in the contract that it is temporary, then this is the forbidden *mut'ah* marriage, which was abrogated by scholarly consensus. And as for if he conceals the intention that it is temporary, then it is likewise not permissible; because the assumption in marriage is that it is for permanence and continuity. As long as the wife is suitable for him, he remains with her, he begets children from her, he enjoys her company, and he finds comfort in her. Yes.
