The referred to interpreted Umar's "mut'ah" as the mut'ah of Hajj, not mut'ah of marriage. What was attributed to the Shaykh is not a prophetic but his own words. For the ruling on mut'ah and whether it is zina that incurs the prescribed punishment (hadd) upon its perpetrator, please refer to fatwa number: 108086, which discusses the opinions of the four madhhabs. The website is not concerned with judging individuals or discussing the opinions of contemporary figures.
