Salaams Ummulbanin Merali - Acting Moderator -'Aalim Network ******************************************************************************* Question: Is is haram for a man and woman who are in mut'a to commit adultery? I've been really confused on this issue, so I would appreciate it if you would shed some light about it. Answer: It is haram for a man and woman to perform adultery under any circumstances, whether they are in mut'ah or not. The question is - why would they want to perform adultery if they have performed mut'a with each other? In mut'a, intimate relationship is ja'iz unless specified otherwise when solemnizing the mut'ah. (with the agreement of both parties, the conditions regarding sexual relationship can be changed in mut'a) I trust this will answer your question. Wa ma 'alayna illa'lbalagh Liyakatali
