Now that we have gotten acquainted to the essence of the temporary marriage, let us prove of its legality, The legality of the temporary marriage at the beginning of Islam. The non-abrogation of this religious command during the time of the Messenger of God. Then again, the obvious clue to its being legal, is stated in the verse of the Holy Quran such as: ".

Then as those whom you profit by, give them their wages as appointed.." This verse gives witness to the validity of temporary marriage because Firstly, the phrase, 'estimation- profit by, and enjoy' is used here, which is apparently regarded for the temporary marriage; if at all this meant the permanent marriage, then there was no indication needed.

Secondly, the phrase, 'ujoorahunna' is used in order to portray the meaning 'wage' which is a clear evidence in itself for 'muta', because in the case of permanent marriage, words such as 'dowry' and 'sadaqa-nupital gift' is used to substantiate it. Thirdly, Both the Sunni and Shia interpreters agree that the above-mentioned verse was revealed for the temporary marriage.

Jalal Al-deen Al-Soyuti in his book ofcommentary 'Al-dor Al-Manthoor' narrates from Ibn-Jareer and Soddi that the above verse was regarding 'muta' Abu-Ja'afer Muhammed bin Jareer Tabari in his commentary narrates from Soddi, Mujahid and Ibn Abbas that this verse regards the temporary Marriage.

Fourthly, The owners of Sahah, Masaneed and other comprehensive books of narration accept to this fact; for instance Muslim bin Hajjaj in his 'Sahih' narrates from Jabir bin Abdulla and Salamah bin Akwa who said: "The Prophets call has reached to us saying: God's messenger has given the permission to 'enjoy', meaning temporary marriage." The authentic narrations for this topic are innumerable.

Consequently, the principle of legislating 'muta' in the early Islam and at the time of the Holy Prophet, is accepted by the Muslim scholars and interpreters. The question arises as to, 'was the verse of 'muta' abrogated? It was quite occasional to find anyone still doubting the permissibility of 'muta' during the time of the messenger of Allah; The point of discussion lies in the continuation or the abrogation of this command after the time of the Prophet.

Both the tradition and the history of Islam, mention to the fact that the practice of this divine commandment was common among the Muslims until the time of the second caliph who, because of public interests, made a stop to the practice.
