temporary marriage/mut`a

 Muta'a is not allowed in Islam.

 Muta marriage is forbidden according also to the Shia sources themselves!

What I can understand from what you said is that if the verse "Fa-mas-tam-ta'atum �" in 4:24 comes back to the permanent marriage, then the dowry (Mehr or Ujur) must be completely given due to the very first enjoyment. Because the sentence orders to give the dowry when you enjoy or benefit from them, a must

myahya,

I wish to clarify why I brought up and wrote part of the verse
"Fa-mas-tam-ta'atum" in my post. The verse is about permanent marriage, not Muta'a.

Our Shia brothers take that to mean, "So, you can do Muta'a" and if you read Farsi and Urdu translations by Shia translators, you will know that they use it to justify Muta'a.

If you can read Urdu, please read the translation by Maulana Firman Ali.

I should have made this clearer in my OP about this matter.

The question is whether it is generally banned by the prophet or not.   Furthermore, the root of the word Fa-mas-tam-ta'atum is the same as Mut'a and literally means benefiting from and enjoying. You said that Nikah should be used for marriage. if yes, why this sentence uses the root of Mut'ah instead of Nikah. If I am right, you mean that this sentence is talking about "benefiting from" and "enjoying" in permanent marriage. Ok, if it is so, the sentence says that "give your permanent wives their dowries if you benefit from your permanent wives and enjoy them". What does it mean? Every Muslim man should give their permanent wives dowries per each enjoyment? Which kind of them? all of them? And which occasion of each kind of enjoyment in a permanent mutual life? Can you clarify these issues? Regarding the translations, we do not support any translation which adds a word or a sentence to Quran.

Shias can say whatever they like. I am just saying that Muta'a is wrong and Haram. They can call it temporary marriage or a marriage for fun or marriage for a certain period, etc. It is still not a proper marriage.

Muta'a is totally against the commands in Qur'aan.

If one marries four women, then the dowry or Mehr (Ujur) for each will be due for one time anyway and the four will be one's  wives forever, unless and until one wishes to divorce them or they wish to leave one under Khulaa, if they are not happy and want to go their own way.
