MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ It was at the time of the Battle of Khaybar that the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, prohibited fixed-term marriage (1) as well as [the consumption of] the flesh of donkeys (2). Footnotes: 1. Also called 'marriage of pleasure’. It is a type of marriage that was allowed in the early years of the Madīnan community but was later banned. In this type of marriage, a woman would agree to get married for a limited period of time stated in the marriage contract. Spousal rights and obligations of this type of marriage are markedly reduced from those of regular Islamic marriage. 2. The most knowledgeable of the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and most scholars including ath-Thawrī, Ibnul-Mubārak, ash-Shāfiʻi, Aḥmad, and Isḥāq, are of the opinion that fixed-term marriages are forbidden (as defined by God). The opinion of Ibn-ʻAbbās calling for certain allowances in fixed-term marriages indeed changed later on, upon the prohibition by the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him. ”
