I have a very important question to ask you.
Why was MUTA i.e. temporary marriage for a fixed period of time and fixed
sum of money allowed during the time of Holy Prophet (pbuh) and banned
later at the time of caliph Hazrat Umar?I know that it was forbidden
because it had started being misused but what was right or what were the
advantages of Muta that it was still kept during the time of Holy Prophet
(pbuh)? Please elaborate.
Thank you,

MUTTA has been declared HARAAM from the very
outset of Islam. The usual MUTA, in force amongst AHL-E-TASHEE, was never
permitted in Islam. This wicked thing was in vogue before Islam in the
dark ages.(Ahsan-ul-Fatawa page 42 Vol. 5) Hazrat Shah Abdul Aziz has
refuted the permission of MUTA from the very beginning of Islam.
