[...] what the Shi’ah claim. He did state that Abu Bakr allowed it, and he used for his proof the athar of Jabir Ibn Abdullah (r) that we mentioned in part 1 of this research. Ibn Hazm, in his Muhalla, [...]

it is very simple, the sahaba and the tabieen had a very strong relationship with Allah such that even their wives did not stand in their ways when they sought Him, the nature of their entering in the bond of temporary marriage was way different from what people of today would seek from it, they sought just mere companionship, that of caring, mercy and tenderness, and not anything else beyond that, and were able to contain their desires and for this they had rukhsa, but as the generations passed down, and the nisbah of eman decreased, and corruption-lewdness-chaos was feared from this practice, and it was clear like a broad day light that no one of the coming generations would be like the sahaba in containing their desires, the ummah made ijma that it should no longer be practiced, and the ijma of Ummah is binding for the Prophet sallahu aliye wasalam has affirmed that the ummah does not unite upon falsehood, and that Allah’s Yad is over the consensus, and in the Quran that whosoever follows a path other than those of the believers will find for himself/herself a severe punishment. And Allah knows best correct me where I made an error.

Why do the scholars reject it if the Prophet and his Sahaba allowed it?

salaam,Interesting read, but given that Ijma of the sunni jurists has settled over the matter, these opinions would no longer be operational … like considering a threefold divorce to be counted as one?

The Sunni scholars have consensus today that Muta’ah is forbidden. Imam Ibn Al-Mundhir stated, “The early scholars (awaa’il) used to give permitted dispensation for muta’ah, and as for today no one allows it save for a group from the raafidah (shi’ah).”

Qadhi ‘Iyad stated, “And the scholars are unanimous that it is forbidden save for some of the raafidah.” Imam Al-Khattabi and a whole host of major Imams stated the same.

“Then he mentions Imam Al-Awza’i’s rejection of the 5 things from people of the Hijaz, one of them being Muta’ah.”

Al-Hakim mentions this report in Ulum al-Hadith. One of the other things was anal intercourse as it was held permitted by the people of medinah according to al-Awza’i.

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

“Then he mentions Imam Al-Awza’i’s rejection of the 5 things from people of the Hijaz, one of them being Muta’ah.”

What are the other 5 things Imam al-Awzai (may Allah Taala have mercy on him) rejected from the people of Hijaz?

Jazakum Allahu khayran.
