A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, 4 . . . it is not harmful for you if you agree upon it after marriage.’ (4:24) He (the Imam) said, ‘Whatever they agree upon after marriage is permissible and whatever is before marriage is not permissible except with her agreement and with something given to her to make her agree.’”

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Sulayman ibn Salim from ibn Bukayr who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When you settle the conditions of al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage) with a woman and she agrees and marriage becomes binding, you can bring your prior condition after marriage; if she agrees it is permissible, if she does not agree, it does not apply effectively to her; it was before marriage.’”

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once heard abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, about the case of a man who marries in the manner of al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage) ‘They inherit each other if they do not set a condition because condition is effective after marriage.’”
