Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. During the summer vacation, it is common for some young men to travel abroad with the intention of marrying with the plan to divorce after one month or more. They may even marry more than one woman during this period. They attribute the permissibility of this to His Eminence the Shaykh, 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him). Is this statement correct? And what is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is a lie. This is a lie about the Shaykh. The Shaykh says: If he intends in his heart to divorce, and he contracts a valid marriage, the marriage is valid. As for this one who goes in the summer, and he has agreed with the woman and her guardian that it is only for the summer period, this is an obvious temporary marriage (mut'ah).
If they agree that it is temporary, only for the summer period, this is an obvious temporary marriage (mut'ah), which is forbidden by consensus. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) did not say that this marriage with the intention of divorce is permissible if he conceals this in his heart; that is what the Shaykh issues a ruling on. But if they agree that this marriage is for one or two nights, for the duration of his stay in this country, this is an obvious temporary marriage (mut'ah). This is temporary marriage, and may Allah protect us from it, it is not permissible.
