Another Response to the Reply on Mut`ah Here is a comment on an item , which you posted on your site. You specified an aya as a proof that "the Quran does not support this view", however, you did not mention the Quranic aya which was the basis of permitting the Temporary Marriage or Mut'a Marriage (aya 24 in Surat al Nisaa.) The said aya talks about marriage and the ayas before it and after it are talking about marriage as well (e.g. who can not be married, ..etc.). I refer you to any popular Arabic multi volume tafseer book, which will tell you that this aya is the basis for Mutaa marriage. Please also note that Surat al-Nisaa is Madaniyya and both suras which you sited (Surah Al-Mominun and Surah Al-Ma`arij) are both Makkiyya. Earlier aya can not abrogate/invalidate a later aya or instruction!
