Does obtaining permission from the girl's father for permanent Nikah also imply consent for Mutah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes if the girl is virgin which means that she was never married.

Has the Mutah marriage ended or is it still valid, considering that the man I engaged in Mutah with stated he "donates the rest of the time period" but now claims it was done in anger?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If the man has willingly forfeited the remaining time of the Mut'ah marriage, then it has ended. If you both want to continue together,you need to recite a new Mut'ah marriage contract with fresh time and Mahr.

If he was not willing to end the Mut'ah and said what he said in anger with out meaning it,the Mut'ah remain valid till the end of the time or deliberate termination of the Mut'ah from him.

Does a divorced 35-year-old independent woman, who has previously been married with her father's consent and is still a virgin, have the right to engage in Mut'ah without seeking her father's permission?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

As she is still a virgin, from a shar'i side, she would still need father's consent, unless she is completely socially and financially independent and free to make her own choices. 

Of course, whatever the case may be, morally, it is still very important to have family involved and seek the blessings of elders and approval when it comes to marriage.

And Allah knows best
Is it permissible to flirt with someone you intend to do Mutah with, even if you are uncertain about their affiliation with the Ahlul Kitab?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you have reasonable possibility that she is or might be from Ahlul Kitab, then yes, remembering that you need permission from your Muslim wife ( if any) for having Mut'ah marriage with a woman from Ahlul Kitab.

'If she does not belong to Ahlul Kitab, there is question of Mut'ah with her so never flirt with her because it is a sinful act which might lead to major sin.

'Wassalam.
