2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-‘Abbas ibn Musa from Ishaq from abu Sarah who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, about it ( al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage)). He (the Imam) said to me, Tt is lawful but you must not marry except those who possess chastity; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “. . .those who protect their private organs. ”(23: 5) Therefore, do not marry one whom you cannot trust about your dirham.’”

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il who has said the following: “A man once asked al-Rida’, Alayhi al-Salam, when I was listening, about the case of a man who married a woman in the manner of al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage) with the condition that he was not to support her child. She thereafter brought a child to him and he strongly denied the child. He (the Imam) said, ‘Does he deny it because of its greatness?’ The man replied, ‘He accuses her (of wrong doing).’ He (the Imam) said, it is not proper for you to marry anyone other than believing, Muslim female because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “The fornicator cannot marry but a female fornicator or a female pagan and a female fornicator cannot marry anyone other than a male fornicator or a pagan and it is unlawful to believing people.” (23:3)’”

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from in a marfu’ manner from ‘Abd Allah ibn abu Ya’fur who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a woman whose condition is not known; if a man can marry her in the manner of al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage). He (the Imam) said, ‘He can propose unlawful activities; if she agreed, he then must stay away from her.’”

5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Barqiy from Dawud ibn Ishaq al-Hadhdha’ from Muhammad ibn al-Fayd who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, about al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage). He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, if she is knowledgeable.’ We then asked him (the Imam), ‘We pray to Allah to keep our souls in service for your cause, what happens if she is not knowledgeable?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Propose to her if she agrees then marry her, if she refuses to accept your words then stay away from her. You must remain on your guard against al-Kawashif, al- Dawa‘iy, al-Baghaya’ and Dhaxvat al-Azwaj.’ I then asked who are al-Kaxvashif?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘They are those whose houses are known to people and people go to them.’ I asked about al-Dawa‘iy and he (the Imam) said, ‘They are those women who call people to themselves and who are known for indecent acts.’ I then asked about al-Baghaya’ and he (the Imam) said, They are those who are known for their committing fornication.’ I then asked about Dhaxvat al-Azwaj and he (the Imam) said, They are those who are not divorced according to the Sunnah.’”
