                          Do Prophet's successors have the right to alter or abolish parts of Prophet's Sunnah or Sharia Law?

The second caliph Umar bin al-Khattab (رضی الله عنه), for example, is known for having forbidden the practice of Mut'ah in marriage and Hajj which were allowed by the Holy Prophet. Can his decision be genuinely justified?
