QUESTION:

What is the unforeseen act of `Amr b. Harith that occurred in the
time of 'Umar which caused him to ban Mut'ah as mentioned in Sayyid
Sharafuddin's Masail Fiqhiyyah? 

ANSWER: 

There are very few details from the sources on this event. However,
I have heard that 'Amr had contracted mut'a with a Persian woman during the
time of 'Umar. 'Amr also neglected his permanent wife and family
responsibility due to his mut'a relationship. This was one of the reasons
which caused 'Umar to ban mut'a. However, this is just one story I have
heard, Allah knows the truth
