permitted it (14) during the Farewell Pilgrimage for three days, then forbade it. Furthermore, because the rulings of marriage do not apply to it—such as divorce, zihar (injurious assimilation), li'an (imprecation), and inheritance—it is invalid, like all other invalid marriages. As for the statement of Ibn 'Abbas, it has been narrated that he retracted it. Abu Bakr narrated with his chain of transmission from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, who said: I said to Ibn 'Abbas: "The controversy (15) regarding mut'ah has become widespread, to the point that a poet said regarding it:
I say, now that our stay together has been long... O companion, do you have any interest in the fatwa of Ibn 'Abbas?
Do you desire a sweetheart of easy reach... who will be your companion until the people depart?"
He then stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "Indeed, mut'ah is like carrion, blood, and the flesh of swine (16)." As for the permission granted by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) regarding it, its abrogation has been established. As for the narration from 'Umar—if it is authentic—the apparent meaning is that he only intended to report the prohibition of it by the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and his forbidding it, for it is not permissible for him to forbid what the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) had permitted and which remained upon its state of permissibility.

أحَلَّها (١٤) فى حَجَّةِ الوَداعِ ثَلاثةَ أيامٍ، ثمَّ حَرَّمَها، ولأنَّه لا تَتَعَلَّقُ به أحكامُ النِّكاحِ، من الطَّلاقِ، والظِّهَارِ، واللِّعانِ، والتَّوَارُثِ، فكان باطِلًا، كسائرِ الأنْكِحةِ الباطلةِ. وأمَّا قولُ ابنِ عباسٍ، فقد حُكِىَ عنه الرُّجُوعُ عنه، فرَوَى أبو بكرٍ، بإسْنادِه عن سعيدِ ابن جُبَيْرٍ، قال: قلتُ لِابنِ عباسٍ: لقد كَثُرَتِ القَالَةُ (١٥) فى المُتْعةِ، حتَّى قال فيها الشاعر:
أَقُولُ وقد طالَ الثَّواءُ بِنَا مَعًا ... يا صَاحِ هَلْ لكَ فى فُتْيَا ابنِ عباسِ
هل لَكَ فى رَخْصَةِ الأطْرافِ آنِسَةٍ ... تكونُ مَثْواكَ حتَّى مَصْدَرِ النَّاسِ
فقام خَطيبًا، وقال: إنَّ المُتْعةَ كالمَيْتَةِ والدَّمِ ولَحْمِ الخِنْزِيرِ (١٦). فأمَّا إِذْنُ رسولِ اللَّه -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- فيها، فقد ثَبَتَ نَسْخُه، وأمَّا حديثُ عمرَ -إن صَحَّ عنه- فالظاهرُ أنَّه إنَّما قَصَدَ الإخْبارَ عن تَحْرِيمِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- لها، ونَهْيِه عنها، إذْ لا يجوزُ أن يَنْهَى عمَّا كان النَّبِىُّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- أباحَه، وبَقِىَ على إبَاحَتِه.
فصل: وإن تزَوَّجَها بغير (١٧) شَرْطٍ، إلَّا أَنَّ فى نِيَّتِه طَلَاقَها بعدَ شَهْرٍ، أو إذا انْقَضَتْ حاجَتُه فى هذا البَلَدِ، فالنِّكاحُ صَحِيحٌ، فى قولِ عامَّةِ أهلِ العلمِ، إلَّا
