Salaamun 'alaykum.
 
Is Muta allowed for Married women also. If not why?

Are there any degrees in prophets(eg. Prophet Mohammad is greater than Moses). 
If  so you can please qote me from Quran, If not Hadis will do.


Salam Alaikum brother;

Muta is not allowed for married women for the simple reason that Allah did
not allow it for them. We can ponder many reasons such as preservation of
lineage, control of social morals, and phyiscal fullfilment differences
between men and women. Basically the same reasons why men can marry more
than one wife but women can not. 

As far as the second question, the quran states clearly that "Tilka-aruslu
fadalna baadahum ala baad, warafanu baadahum fawqa badeen darajat" 

Those are the messangers, we have excelled some over others in preference,
and eleveated some of them in degrees.. 

this is a rough translation and I beleive the verse is in Surat Al-anbia. 


Abu Muhammad
