Salamun Alaykum,

The following question was kindly answered by Mulla Asgher.

Question:

Is it haram for a woman to make a living at mutah by marrying a man for a
short period, receiving a mahr, then observing iddah and marrying another
man for a short period and so on so that she is married to say half a
dozen men in the year?  If it is haram what makes it haram if she is
observing the rules for mutah properly?  And if it is not haram, does she
deserve to be condemned as immoral (or do the men who marry her deserve
that)?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

It is not haram for her to make a living in this way if she follows the
rules of Sharia properly. Nor does she deserve to be condemned. This also
applies to the men who marry her.

Wasalaam
