Al-Kafi 9980

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Basheer Bin Hamza, from a man from Qureysh who said, ‘A cousin of mine sent a message to me, and there was a lot of wealth for her, ‘You know the abundance of those from the men whom are proposing to me, but I am not marrying them myself, and I have not sent you a message due to my desiring the men, apart from that it has reached me, that it (<span class="iTxt">Mut’a</span>) has been Permitted by Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic in His^azwj Book, and Rasool-Allah^saww explained it in his^saww Sunnah, but Zafar (Umar) prohibited it. Thus, I would like to obey Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic above His^azwj Throne, and obey Rasool-Allah^saww, and disobey Zafar (Umar). Therefore, marry me by way of <span class="iTxt">Mut’a</span>’. So I said to her, ‘(Not) until I go over to Abu Ja’far^asws and consult him^asws’. So I went over to him^asws, and informed him^asws. So he^asws said: ‘Do it. May Allah^azwj Send Blessings upon both of you from as spouses’.
