Clarification Regarding Marriage With the Intention of Divorce

Question :

A brother has mentioned that he read from Your Eminence that it is permissible to marry with the intention of divorce, without defining the time of divorce. And that you recommend young men who are abroad to marry in this manner. And that it is possible that love might develop between them, or that Allah might bless them with a child, so it continues. Is this correct? I request clarification, may Allah reward you.

Answer:

This verdict was issued by the Permanent Committee for Scientific Research and Religious Verdicts in the King dom of Saudi Arabia under my directorship and with my cooperation and this is the view of the majority of scholars, as mentioned by Muwaffaq Ad-Din Ibn Qudamah may Allah have mercy on him in his book, Al-Mughni, as that is between him and Allah, Most Glorified and it is not a form of Nikah Al- Mut'ah.

However, if he agreed with the woman's family to that, or imposed a condition that it should be for a limited period, then that would be detested and not permissible; and the marriage would be considered Nikah Al-Mut'ah and it would be invalid, because the Messenger prohibited it, and informed us that. Allah has forbidden it until the Day of Resurrection. And Allah is the Granter of success.
