Chapter on Temporary Marriage (Mutʿah)

وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَتَزَوَّجُ اَلْمَرْأَةَ شَهْراً بِشَيْءٍ مُسَمًّى فَتَأْتِي بَعْضَ اَلشَّهْرِ وَ لاَ تَفِي بِبَعْضِ اَلشَّهْرِ قَالَ "تَحْبِسُ عَنْهَا مِنْ صَدَاقِهَا بِقَدْرِ مَا اِحْتَبَسَتْ عَنْكَ إِلاَّ أَيَّامَ حَيْضِهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَهَا".
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Umar ibn Hanzalah who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "Can I marry a woman for a month with a specified dowry, but she only fulfills part of the month and does not fulfill the rest?" Imam عليه السلام said: "You withhold from her dowry an amount proportional to the time she withheld herself from you, except for the days of her menstruation, as those days belong to her."
