How can Hazrat Umar (RA) disallow any practice which was allowed by Prophet(SAW) ? Under what authority ? His declaration cannot ban anything which was allowed by Holy Prophet’s (SAW). I have read a couple of ahadees which tells me that it was practiced in Islam during Rasool Allah(SAW) times. I never came across any hadees which prohibits this practice specificaly. If you know any please do enlighten me.
Having said that I do believe that Isalm is so much against zina , and mutah is equivalent to legalizing zina then how can it be allowed ? I have also read some shia articles which quote quranic verses and take them to mean that Mutah is halal. But in my heart of hearts I do not agree with that interpretation , those verses can mean many a things since they do not specifically validate Mutah in itself.

Agreed.

I feel the same that if something was not outlawed by the Prophet himself (and that on the command of God), anyone else outlawing it does not mean anything.

To be honest, I don’t find it much different from Zina either. Even in the west, if paternity is proved without marriage, a man still has to pay child support. The arguments that Mutah offers protection don’t make much sense. It sounds like a gratification contract only and does not prevent any vices like STDs, promiscuity etc.

Does this mean that those ahadees could be unauthentic?
