Mut'a (Temporary marriage) . Consummation . Shahada . Atheism

I engaged in Mutah with a lady who is an atheist and required her to recite the Kalma before we consummated the marriage. I forgot this requirement until later, but she did recite it afterwards. Is the marriage valid?

Mut’ah marriage is not allowed with atheist or Mushrik unless and until she believes in Islam or a holy book like Torah or Bible (to be from People of Book). It is not only reciting the Kalma but more importantly believing that No Gods but Allah and Mohammad is His messenger (to be a Muslim), or believing in Judaism or Christianity to be from Ahl al-Kitab. With out that, the marriage is invalid.

Does a Mutah marriage automatically end when the specified time expires? If intimacy was a prerequisite, does that influence the conclusion of the Mutah?

Mut'ah is a time fixed Islamic marriage which ends automatically on the end of the agreed time. Both can renew the Mut'ah by reciting another Mut'ah contract with a Mahr and a new period of time if they wish.

Iddah . Marriage . Woman . Hysterectomy . Mut'a (Temporary marriage) . Menstruation (Haidh)

Is it true that a post-menopausal woman is not required to observe Iddah after marriage, whether permanent or temporary? Does this rule also extend to women of any age who have undergone a hysterectomy and no longer menstruate?

Yes, post-menopausal woman does not require to observe Iddah after divorce or termination of a temporary marriage. This rule is only for those women who have no menstruation because of their passing the age of menstruation. This rule does not extend to women who had hysterectomy and no longer menstruate. Such women who are in the age of menstruation require Iddah.

It is worth mentioning that Iddah of Wafat after the death of the husband is obligatory on every wife. It is four months and ten days from her knowledge about his death.

As a student planning a Mut'a marriage, I am facing difficulties because the girl's father has denied permission by placing a very high Mahr and also wants her to finish her education first. In this context, is it allowed to proceed without his consent?

Bismihi ta'āla

Education is not an obstacle for marriage, and will not hinder a person in finishing their degree. However, why would you plan to do mut'ah. Why don't you marry her, and maybe postpone the wedding and moving in until both of you are ready. At least you will be halal to each other.

To answer your question, no, it is not allowed to proceed without his consent. Neither of you should even think about taking things into your own hands and doing things outside the conventional way of how people marry.

Consider all other options, and consult with respectful elders and scholars before you take any steps in this.

Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

What steps can I take to extend my Muta period, and do I need to recite the Sigha verse again to do so?

Bismihi ta'āla

If the time period is over, you must recite a new contract, with new time-period and new mahr.

If you still have some time left for the temporary contract (let's say2 days left), and you both decide to extend, the man frees the woman for the remaining period, then recite the new contract together.
