According to Sunnis, mut'ah (temporary marriage) was allowed before but later the Prophet salallahu alayhi wassalam abolished it. It is based on the following hadiths (traditions):
> In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that the Leader of the Faithful `Ali
> bin Abi Talib said, "The Messenger of Allah prohibited Mut'ah marriage
> and eating the meat of domesticated donkeys on the day of Khaybar
> (battle).''
In addition, in his Sahih, Muslim recorded that Ar-Rabi' bin Sabrah bin Ma'bad Al-Juhani said that his father said that he accompanied the Messenger of Allah during the conquest of Makkah, and that the Prophet said,
> O people! I allowed you the Mut'ah marriage with women before. Now,
> Allah has prohibited it until the Day of Resurrection. Therefore,
> anyone who has any women in Mut`ah, let him let them go, and do not
> take anything from what you have given them.
What is the evidence that the Shia used to allow it?
Are there any conditions to perform Mut'ah ? What happens to the woman and her children after the Mut'ah marriage ends?
