QUESTION:

I follow the taqlid of Ayatullah Khui  
A friend and I have been discussing the topic of MUTA.
Although we both realize that it is allowed in Islam, there is some
dissagreement on its application.
I contend that once a person has entered a permanent marriage, muta is no
longer allowed.  My friend feels that muta is still allowed as long as the
permanent wife knows and does not dissapprove.


ANSWER:

Both are wrong. 
Muta' has no restriction or condition on a man that he must be single. That
is true for the woman. Nor does it contain a condition of the wife's
approval. Muta' can be done wothout the permanent wife knowing.
