What is your opinion of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Kubaisi, and is he considered to be from Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah (the People of the Sunnah and the Community), especially after his statements regarding the permissibility of intermingling (ikhtilat) in education, worship, Hajj, and political gatherings as a religious ruling, and his claim that the prohibition of intermingling originated in the Abbasid era, as well as his fatwa permitting temporary marriage (mut'ah) or customary marriage (zawaj urfi) when unable to contract a legitimate marriage, and that it is preferable to fornication?

The website is not concerned with discussing individuals or judging them. Intermingling that leads to great corruption is forbidden. The term "intermingling" (اختلاط) may refer to a forbidden situation or a permissible one. Guiding someone who fears falling into fornication towards mut'ah marriage (temporary marriage) is impermissible, as it is abrogated and invalid, and there is no difference between it and outright fornication. As for the saying that a woman may marry herself without the permission of her guardian, it is a view held by one of the four madhhabs, but the preponderant view is otherwise, which is what the majority holds. There is no need to even guide towards it, for if the guardian is absent or refuses to marry her off without a legitimate Shar'i reason, she may refer her case to the Shar'i judge. What is commonly referred to by the public as urfi marriage (customary marriage) includes that which is permissible and that which is forbidden and invalid. Judgment in all matters belongs to the Sharia, not to people's moods and whims, because that leads to corruption and chaos.
