Am I permitted to contract a temporary marriage without the intention of having children, knowing that I fear temptation for myself and have excessive sexual desire?
It is recommended to supplicate frequently, especially with the prophetic supplication: "O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and self-sufficiency." The enquirer is thanked for abandoning masturbation and pornography, as they are acts of disobedience to Allah and have negative consequences. The conditions for sincere repentance must accompany this abandonment, including marrying a righteous woman with the intention of permanence and procreation, as this is among good deeds. However, if the enquirer is compelled to marry with the intention of divorce or not having children for valid reasons, there is no harm, provided that the duration is not stipulated in the marriage contract.
