Is it permissible for a Muslim to marry an Italian woman for the purpose of regularizing residency, with the intention of divorcing her afterward, in exchange for a sum of money, and with her knowledge of this?

Scholars differ on the validity of marriage with the intention of divorce, without explicitly stipulating it, and the majority view it as permissible. However, many contemporary scholars, including the European Council for Fatwa and Research, prohibit sham marriages for the purpose of obtaining residency. This is because it contradicts the purpose of marriage in Islamic law and resembles temporary marriage (Nikah al-Mut'ah) in terms of its time limitation. Furthermore, it violates the laws of the land, which in this case align with the Sharia's intent.
