Would Mut'ah marriages be allowed in paradise? Would a woman who had multiple Mut'ah marriages be limited to having only one husband in paradise?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There are two opinions among the scholars in this matter. One opinion says: Yes, Mut’ah marriages will be allowed in Paradise because of the Quranic verse about Paradise: And It will have everything which is desired by anyone). (Sura 43, verse 71).

This opinion also says that woman who wants more than one husband will be allowed to have in Paradise more than one husband.

The other opinion says that the desires in Paradise will be different from the desires in this worldly life as the believers in Paradise will see the Truth which did not see in worldly life. All the desires in Paradise will be pure and noble, so no one in Paradise will desire something which is not noble. No believing woman in Paradise will desire more than one husband.

These are the two opinions and we leave the real answer to Allah (SWT) as we have not yet seen the Paradise and we pray to Allah (SWT) to Grant us the Paradise, then we will know the reality which we don't know in this world.

Wassalam.

Is our Mutah contract with a duration of 99 years invalid if it surpasses our lifespan? We intend to terminate it before that occurs, is it still considered invalid?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Assuming you are 18+, and if you do a mut'ah contract with a duration of 99 years, it would mean you've lived over 120 years, and if both of you are still verbal and cognizant, once the duration of contract finishes, it you become non-mahram to each other again.

You will need to do another mut'ah contract should you wish to stay together, or nullify it, if still within duration. 

The way you nullify it is for male to say to the female "I free you for the remaining period". 

And Allah knows best
