The questioner : Is temporary marriage considered a type of unlawful sexual intercourse?
The Shaykh : For those who consider it permissible, they do not view it as unlawful sexual intercourse, but the correct view is that it is forbidden, without doubt.
The questioner : Those who engage in temporary marriage...?
The Shaykh : If the one performing it does not believe it is permissible, then it is unlawful sexual intercourse. Likewise, if the women involved believe it is forbidden, then they are women committing unlawful sexual intercourse.
The questioner : Their scholars who issue rulings to them, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, these are ignorant people; they follow them in blind imitation, and the problem is that they do not accept anyone other than their own scholars.
