If I contract mut'ah with a woman for 7 days and after 7 days she wants to contract mut'ah with another man, is she required to observe 'Idda or not? A. A woman married in Mut'ah has to observe 'Iddah which in her case is two monthly courses, or two months. If in that period, signs of pregnancy appear, then the 'Iddah will continue upto the delivery of the child.

But if the same man who had done mut'ah with her wants to extend the mut'ah period, or wants to remarry her, there Is no need of 'Iddah. Q85.The rule of 3 divorces and mutah marriage If a married woman is divorced three times, the ex-husband cannot marry her again until she is married to another man and divorced.

Now if I enter in mut'ah for, say, 7 days, after 7 days she is no longer my wife; now after, say, 15 days I again enter in mut'ah with same woman for, say, 10 days and after 10 days she again will remain no longer my wife. Say, after one month I again enter in mut'ah with her for one month and after one month she Is no longer my wife. Thus I have entered in mut'ah with the same woman for three times now.

If I intend to enter in mut'ah with same woman again, is it permitted for the 4th time, or 5th time or 6th time? A. In mut'ah marriage, there is no "divorce", because the marriage terminates by itself on expiry of the agreed period, while in permanent marriage divorce is required to terminate the marriage. It should be now clear to you that the rule about "3 divorces" is not applicable to mut'ah marriage, for the simple reason that there is no divorce here.

Therefore, one may marry the same woman as many times as they agree. Q. 86: SOME CEREMONIES AT MARRIAGE TIME During our marriage ceremonies, one notices that the customs we practise are very unlslamic. According to 'shari'ah' are we allowed to sprinkle flowers on the bride and groom, to break earthen pots beneath their feet, and cut wedding cakes? In the above, please note, that we aren't mixing men and women nor are we playing music etc...

but are just following the customs and traditions of our grand-parents which make the wedding lively and more enjoyable. If we can't do the above, please, what should we do apart from the 'nikah' ceremony to make a marriage a more lively occasion. A. There is no harm in showering flowers on the bride and bridegroom. Cutting wedding cakes is western culture and breaking earthen pots a Hindu rite; both these rites should be avoided. Q87: IS VANNEY ALLOWED?
