and on a serious note
As far as I know the final ruling with regard to mut’ah marriage is that it is forbidden according to Islamic sharee’ah. There are mumber of haddith which prohibitate mu'ta/temporary marriage.
Imaam Muslim said in his Saheeh:
Baab Nikaah al-Mut’ah wa bayaan annahu ubeeha thumma nusikha thumma ubeeha thumma nusikha wastaqarra tahreemuhu ilaa Yawn il-Qiyaamah (Chapter on Mut’ah marriage and the statement that it was permitted, then abrogated, then permitted, then abrogated, and this prohibition remains in effect until the Day of Resurrection).
From Iyaas ibn Salamah from his father, who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) gave sanction for contracting temporary marriage (mut’ah) for three nights in the year of Awtaas [after the Battle of Humayn in 8 AH], then he forbade it.” (2499)
From al-Rabee’ ibn Sabrah from his father: on the day of the Conquest (of Makkah) the Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) forbade temporary marriage (mut’ah) with women. (Saheeh Muslim, 2506)
And also from him (pbuh): that the Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) forbade mut’ah and said: “It is forbidden from this day of yours until the Day of Resurrection, and whoever has given anything [as a dowry] should not take it back.” (Saheeh Muslim, 2509).
From ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib: that the Prophet (pbuh)forbade temporary marriage to women and the flesh of donkeys at the time of Khaybar. This was narrated by al-Tirmidhi, who said: the hadeeth of ‘Ali is hasan saheeh and this is what was followed by the scholars among the companions of the Prophet (pbuh) and others… this is also the view of al-Thawri, Ibn al-Mubaarak, al-Shaafa’i, Ahmad and Ishaaq. Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 1040.

Assalamu alaikum,
Well I wouldn't call myself an expert. Thanks for the hadiths. As I said there are two view based on the hadith collections. The problem with the hadiths which say that it was forbidden is that they are not consistent, suggesting that they are possibly fabricated. For example, one hadith claims that it was banned after the battle of khyber, while according to another Omar bans it.
A proper investigation is needed before one cancome to the correct conclusion. I personally believe that it was halaal and still is halaal, because lines of scholars, traced back to the Prophet (saw) claim that it is halaal. The shia scholars have their evidence too to prove that muta marriage is halaal and we should consider these too in our investigation and try not to be biased, in the same way that the christians are biased against the muslims for having views that conflict with their beliefs.
Often when muslims first come across this idea of muta marriage they outright condemn it withut doing any investigation, then later they come back with evidence showing that it was forbidden. Such people are biased in the first place and there is a risk that their final conclusion is based on their personal likes or dislikes (ie they are biased) which is forbidden in Islam. At face value I could not believe that muta is halaal, but I decided to investigate into the matter rather than coming to any conclusion based on my personal view. Having investigated into the matter my conlusion is that it is necessarily halaal. There is a saying of Ali that had muta not been banned much sin would not have been committed by people. I agree with that statement! More later, inshAllah!
