Al-Kafi 9913

Translation

Ali, raising it, said, ‘Abu Haneefa asked Abu Ja’far Muhammad^asws, so he said to him^asws, ‘O Abu Ja’far^asws! What are you^asws saying regarding the <span class="iTxt">Mut’a</span>, do you^asws claim that it is Permissible?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes’. He said, ‘So prevents you^asws in instructing your^asws womenfolk that they should perform <span class="iTxt">Mut’a</span> and earn for you^asws?’ So Abu Ja’far^asws said to him: ‘Not every work has desirability in it, even though it may be Permissible, because people have their values and positions which raise their values. But, what are you saying, O Abu Haneefa, regarding <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span>, do you claim it as Permissible?’ So he said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘So what prevents you from getting your womenfolk to sit in <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span> shops, so they would be earning for you?’ So Abu Haneefa said, ‘One with one, and your^asws share is more effective’. Then he said to him^asws, ‘O Abu Ja’far^asws! The Verse regarding the questioner asking speaks with the Prohibition of the <span class="iTxt">Mut’a</span>, and the report from the Prophet^saww has come with its Abrogation’. So Abu Ja’far^asws said to him: ‘O Abu Haneefa! The Chapter <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:70#h1"><a href="/books/quran:70#h1">[70:1]</a></a> A questioner, asked</span> is Meccan and the Verse of the <span class="iTxt">Mut’a</span> is Medinite, and your report is abnormal, refuted’ (as an earlier Verse cannot Abrogate a later Verese). So Abu Haneefa said to him^asws, ‘And the Verse of the inheritance as well speaks with the Abrogation of the <span class="iTxt">Mut’a</span>’. So Abu Ja’far^asws said: ‘The marriage is proved (it can be) without inheritance’. Abu Haneefa said, ‘From where do you^asws speak that?’ So Abu Ja’far^asws said: ‘If a man from the Muslims were to marry a woman from the People of the Book, then he dies from her, what would you be saying regarding it?’ He said, ‘She would not inherit from him’. He^asws said: ‘So that proves the marriage (can be) without inheritance’. Then they departed each other’.
