The Ruling on Temporary Marriage and Divorce in It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on temporary marriage? And what is the ruling on divorce in it?

Answer:
Temporary marriage is not permissible, and it is invalid. It is marrying her for a known period, meaning they agree to marry her for a year and then separate, or for a month, or two months.
It was permissible in the early days of Islam, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it, and it was abrogated, and he said:
Indeed, Allah has forbidden it until the Day of Resurrectionإنَّ الله حرَّمه إلى يوم القيامة
Sunan ad-Darimi 11:29
.
If one marries for a temporary period, he should divorce her; because there is disagreement among the scholars. So if he marries her for a temporary period, he divorces her with one divorce; to resolve the difficulty and remove this doubtful marriage, with only one divorce.
