Is it permissible for a married man traveling abroad to marry temporarily until he returns to his wife, knowing that his absence has exceeded eight months and he cannot return currently?
Temporary marriage ( mut'ah) is invalid. Similarly, stipulating divorce at a specific time invalidates the marriage contract. However, if the husband intends divorce at a specific time without making it a condition in the contract, the majority of scholars consider the contract valid, while the Hanbalis and Al-Awza'i deem it invalid. The most cautious approach is to intend the permanence of the marriage. When the residency period ends, then the matter of divorce can be considered. For those unable to marry, they must be patient and practice chastity by fasting, lowering their gaze, staying away from temptations, and strengthening their connection with Allah.
