Al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage) Is Not Permissible With Non-Chaste Women

2- وَعَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي سَارَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْهَا يَعْنِي الْمُتْعَةَ فَقَالَ لِي حَلالٌ فَلا تَتَزَوَّجْ إِلا عَفِيفَةً إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حافِظُونَ فَلا تَضَعْ فَرْجَكَ حَيْثُ لا تَأْمَنُ عَلَى دِرْهَمِكَ.
2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-‘Abbas ibn Musa from Ishaq from abu Sarah who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, about it ( al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage)). He (the Imam) said to me, It is lawful but you must not marry except those who possess chastity; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “. . .those who protect their private organs. ”(23: 5) Therefore, do not marry one whom you cannot trust about your dirham.’”
