Is it necessary to reconsider the hadiths regarding temporary marriage (mut'ah), especially those mentioned in Sahih Muslim, due to their contradiction with the Holy Quran, reason, and logic?
The reconciliation of the Ahadith that mention the permissibility of Mut'ah and its subsequent abrogation is that Nikah al-Mut'ah was permissible at the beginning of Islam, then it was prohibited. As for describing Mut'ah as zina (fornication), this was after its prohibition, to emphasize its impermissibility, and not because it was actual zina. Finally, it is not permissible to speak about matters of Sharia except with knowledge and understanding.
