How can he deny it?" - emphasizing the gravity of such an act. The man then asked: "What if he suspects her (of wrongdoing)?" Imam Al-Ridha (as) replied: "You should not marry except a trustworthy woman. Verily, Allah (swt), the Exalted, said: 'The fornicator does not marry except a fornicatress or a polytheist, and the fornicatress does not marry except a fornicator or a polytheist, and this has been forbidden for the believers.'" (Surah Al-Nur, 24:3)

Later, her family came to know about it, and they married her off to another man in a public marriage, although she was a truthful woman. Imam (as) said: "She must not allow her new husband to approach her until her waiting period ('iddah) and contract have ended." I said: "What if her contract specifies a term of one year, and her new husband cannot wait that long?" Imam (as) said: "Then her husband should fear Allah (swt) and waive the remaining time for her. Indeed, she has been put to trial, and this world is a place of peace, and believers live in taqiyyah (dissimulation)." I asked: "What if he waives the remaining days for her, and her waiting period ends? What should she do?" Imam (as) said: "When she meets her new husband, she should say: 'O man, my family forced me and married me off without consulting me. But now, I am pleased. So, let us begin today with a new, proper marriage between us.'" I also asked Al-Ridha (as): "What about a woman who marries in Mut'ah, and after her contract ends, she marries another man before completing her waiting period?" Imam (as) said: "What concern is it to you? The sin of that act is upon her."

When he extends his hand toward her, Allah (swt) writes a good deed for him. When he approaches her, Allah (swt) forgives a sin for him. And when he performs ghusl (ritual purification), Allah (swt) forgives him a number of sins equal to the drops of water that pass over his hair." I asked: "Equal to the number of hairs?" He (as) replied: "Yes, equal to the number of hairs."

4605 - وَ رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "عِدَّةُ اَلْمُتْعَةِ خَمْسَةٌ وَ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْماً" كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَعْقِدُ بِيَدِهِ خَمْسَةً وَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً "فَإِذَا جَاءَ اَلْأَجَلُ كَانَتْ فُرْقَةً بِغَيْرِ طَلاَقٍ".
Hadith.4605 - Musa ibn Bakr narrated from Zurara, who said: I heard Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) saying: "The waiting period ('Iddah) for Mut'ah (temporary marriage) is forty-five days." Imam (as) then demonstrated by holding up his hand and showing forty-five days. "When the specified term ends, the separation occurs without the need for divorce."
4606 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا اَلرَّجُلُ مُتْعَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا هَلْ عَلَيْهَا اَلْعِدَّةُ قَالَ "تَعْتَدُّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً فَإِذَا اِنْقَضَتْ أَيَّامُهَا وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ فَحَيْضَةٌ وَ نِصْفٌ مِثْلَ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ" قَالَ قُلْتُ فَتُحِدُّ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ إِذَا مَكَثَتْ عِنْدَهُ يَوْماً أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ سَاعَةً مِنَ اَلنَّهَارِ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتِ اَلْعِدَّةُ وَ لاَ تُحِدُّ".
Hadith.4606 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abdur-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a woman who entered into a Mut'ah (temporary marriage) and then her husband passed away. Imam (as) said: "She must observe an 'Iddah (waiting period) of four months and ten days." Then Imam (as) continued: "If her term ends while he is still alive, her waiting period is one and a half menstrual cycles, similar to what is required for a female slave." I asked: "Does she need to observe mourning (Hadd)?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, but if she stayed with him for a day, two days, or even just an hour during the day, the waiting period becomes obligatory, but mourning (Hadd) is not required."
4608 - : وَ قِيلَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِمَ جَعَلَ فِي اَلزِّنَا أَرْبَعَةً مِنَ اَلشُّهُودِ وَ فِي اَلْقَتْلِ شَاهِدَيْنِ قَالَ "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَحَلَّ لَكُمُ اَلْمُتْعَةَ وَ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا سَتُنْكَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَجَعَلَ اَلْأَرْبَعَةَ اَلشُّهُودِ اِحْتِيَاطاً لَكُمْ وَ لَوْ لاَ ذَلِكَ لَأُتِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ قَلَّ مَا يَجْتَمِعُ أَرْبَعَةٌ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ بِأَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ".
Hadith.4608 - It was said to Abu Abdullah (as): "Why has Allah (swt) prescribed four witnesses for proving adultery (Zina) and only two witnesses for proving murder?" Imam (as) replied: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, has made Mut'ah (temporary marriage) lawful for you, and He (swt) knew that it would be denied and rejected by people. Therefore, He (swt) required four witnesses as a precaution for you. Had it not been for this requirement, people would have accused you unjustly. And it is rare for four people to come together and testify about the same matter."
4607 - وَ رَوَى عُمَرُ بْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا عِدَّةُ اَلْمُتْعَةِ إِذَا مَاتَ عَنْهَا اَلَّذِي تَمَتَّعَ بِهَا قَالَ "أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً" قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ "يَا زُرَارَةُ كُلُّ نِكَاحٍ إِذَا مَاتَ عَنْهَا اَلزَّوْجُ فَعَلَى اَلْمَرْأَةِ حُرَّةً كَانَتْ أَوْ أَمَةً أَوْ عَلَى أَيِّ وَجْهٍ كَانَ اَلنِّكَاحُ مِنْهُ مُتْعَةً أَوْ تَزْوِيجاً أَوْ مِلْكَ يَمِينٍ فَالْعِدَّةُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً وَ عِدَّةُ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةِ ثَلاَثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ اَلْأَمَةُ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةُ عَلَيْهَا نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى اَلْحُرَّةِ وَ كَذَلِكَ اَلْمُتْعَةُ عَلَيْهَا مِثْلُ مَا عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ".
Hadith.4607 - Umar ibn Udhaynah narrated from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about the waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman in a Mut'ah (temporary marriage) if her husband passes away. Imam (as) replied: "It is four months and ten days." Then Imam (as) continued: "O Zurara, for every type of marriage-whether the woman is free or a slave, and regardless of whether the marriage was permanent (Nikah), temporary (Mut'ah), or through ownership (Milk Yamin)-if the husband dies, the waiting period ('Iddah) is four months and ten days." "However, the waiting period ('Iddah) for a divorced woman is three months, and for a divorced female slave, it is half the waiting period of a free woman. Similarly, the waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman in Mut'ah is the same as that for a female slave."
4609 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ بَكَّارِ بْنِ كَرْدَمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَلْقَى اَلْمَرْأَةَ فَيَقُولُ لَهَا زَوِّجِينِي نَفْسَكِ شَهْراً وَ لاَ يُسَمِّي اَلشَّهْرَ بِعَيْنِهِ فَيَلْقَاهَا بَعْدَ سِنِينَ فَقَالَ "لَهُ شَهْرُهُ إِنْ كَانَ سَمَّاهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَمَّاهُ فَلاَ سَبِيلَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا".
Hadith.4609 - It is narrated from Bakkar bin Kardam, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "A man meets a woman and says to her, 'Marry me to yourself for a month,' but he does not specify which month. Then he meets her again after several years-does he still have his month?" Imam (as) replied: "He has his month if he had specified it. However, if he did not specify it, then he has no claim over her."
4610 - وَ رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَدْخَلَ جَارِيَةً يَتَمَتَّعُ بِهَا ثُمَّ أُنْسِيَ حَتَّى وَاقَعَهَا هَلْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ حَدُّ اَلزَّانِي قَالَ "لاَ وَ لَكِنْ يَتَمَتَّعُ بِهَا بَعْدَ اَلنِّكَاحِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اَللَّهَ مِمَّا أَتَى".
Hadith.4610 - It is narrated from Zur'ah, from Sama'ah, who said: I asked him about a man who took a bondwoman for temporary marriage but forgot and had intercourse with her. Does he deserve the punishment of a fornicator? Imam (as) replied: "No, but he should perform the temporary marriage contract with her again and seek forgiveness from Allah (swt) for what he has done."
4611 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلتَّمَتُّعِ بِالْأَبْكَارِ قَالَ "هَلْ جُعِلَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ لَهُنَّ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْنَ مِنْهُ وَ لْيَسْتَعْفِفْنَ".
Hadith.4611 - It is narrated from Ali ibn Asbat, from Muhammad ibn Udhafir, from someone he mentioned, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about engaging in temporary marriage with virgins. Imam (as) replied: "Was it not made permissible except for them? So let them observe modesty and chastity."

Hadith.4612 - It is narrated from Ishaq in Ammar, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (as): A man married a young bondwoman with the condition that he would not deflower her. Then afterward, she gave him permission. Imam (as) replied: "If she gave him permission, then there is no harm in it."

4615 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَمُوتَ وَ قَدْ بَقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ خَلَّةٌ مِنْ خِلاَلِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لَمْ يَأْتِهَا" فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَهَلْ تَمَتَّعَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ "نَعَمْ" وَ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ اَلْآيَةَ " وَ إِذْ أَسَرَّ اَلنَّبِيُّ إِلىٰ بَعْضِ أَزْوٰاجِهِ حَدِيثاً إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى ثَيِّبٰاتٍ وَ أَبْكٰاراً ".

I said to him: "Did the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, perform Mut'ah?" He replied: "Yes," and then recited this verse: "'And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement'... to His saying: 'widowed and virgins'" (Surah Al-Tahrim 66:3-5).
