This paper explores the differing perspectives of Ahl al-Sunnah (Sunni scholars) and Ahl al-Tashayyu’ (Shia scholars) regarding the permissibility and impermissibility of Mut'ah. While Ahl al-Tashayyu’ uphold its legitimacy based on Qur'anic verses and narrations from the Ahl al-Bayt, Ahl al-Sunnah argue that it was abrogated by later prophetic traditions. The study analyzes primary sources, including Hadith and classical jurisprudential texts, to understand the evidences presented by both sides. It also examines the socio-historical context and implications of the practice in early Islam. This comparative analysis aims to present a balanced view of the theological, legal, and ethical considerations surrounding Nikah al-Mut'ah.</p> 2025-05-04T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Al-Aijaz Research Journal of Islamic Studies & Humanities
