Bismihi ta'ala

Should you be solely interested in getting a fiqhi answer to whether it is permissible for a husband to do mut'ah without his wife's knowledge or consent, you must refer to your Marja' taqleed for that.

However, what I would say to you that this kind of conduct is unethical for you do as a husband. If you need a massage, then a male masseur will be stronger and work better with deeper muscle tissue, so that would better for you.

You must be a mu'min who cares about being compliant to shari'ah, and a mu'min always makes sure he is not just observing taqwa, but also maintaining his household and commitment to his wife. Doing something like this will let your lust venture somewhere else, and that wont be healthy for your marital relationship.

This is my advice to you, and I am sure you can find alternatives to this so.

And Allah knows best.

Father . Daughter . Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

If the father gave the authority of spouse selection to his mature and working daughter and made it clear that he will happily accept her choice, can the girl do temporary marriage with a guy she wants without any further consent of her father?

It depends on the father's statement whether he meant giving her the full choice to marry whom ever she selects in Nikah or Mut'ah marriage.

If he was meaning permanent marriage Nikah only, then she still needs her father's permission for Mut'ah.

A man can have four permanent wives at a time. Is it the same limit for Muta as well?

More than one wife needs practical justice between them. With out the practical justice, Muslim man is not allowed more than one wife. In Sura An-Nisa , verse 3: But if you fear that you will not deal justly with them, then just one wife.

Mahram . Mut'a (Temporary marriage) . Daughter

I am getting married to a guy who was raised by his step-dad. Is there any way, such as through temporary marriage, that my future daughters can be Mahram to their step-grandpa?

Step-dad of your husband in non Mahram to you and to your daughters. If he has a real son who can enter with you in a verbal temporary marriage contract for a short while with out consummating it , that will make his father (the step-dad) Mahram to you and your daughters. If that verbal contract is done with your daughter, his real father ( the step-father) will be Mahram to your daughter.

I want to do Mutah with a virgin girl but her father isn't giving her permission. We are afraid we might fall into sin. What should we do?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

If your marja and her marja require the father's permission, then you cannot contract the mutah marriage. The majority of maraja state that a Virgin girl must seek the father's permission for any type of marriage. You should perhaps try to get permanently married and try to convince the father to accept.

He may see that temporary marriage is not in the benefit of his daughter and that permanent marriage is more in her favor. This is usually the case as some sisters may do mutah thinking the man will later on permanently marry them but this does not happen and it can make it hard for her to later permanently marry due to the views of her Muslim Community and society

May Allah grant you success
