889 صحيح حديث عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رضي الله عنه، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، نَهى عَنْ مُتْعَةِ النِّسَاءَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، وَعَنْ أَكْلِ الْحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade temporary marriage with women and eating the meat of domestic donkeys.
Brief Explanation
Marriage for a fixed period is called mut‘ah because its very purpose was the attainment of specific benefits and objectives. The seeking of children, etc., was not intended. In the beginning of Islam, the form of mut‘ah marriage was permissible for one in necessity; then, on the day of Khaybar, it was prohibited; then, at the conquest of Makkah, permission was granted again; then, on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada‘), it was declared prohibited forever. (Murattib rahimahullah)
