Re: The Concept Of Londi In The Quran
I don't know what a ' Londi' is but are you talking about 'that which your right hand possesses'?
Mut'a on the other hand is temporary marriage which is an accepted form of marriage for some (i'm not sure maybe all) Shi'a sects, I assume the reasoning behind it is to provide support for a specific woman for whatever reason (maybe she is struggling for some reason). I'm not certain about the ins and outs of Mut'a- all I know for sure is that it is the concept of temporary marriage and is not necessarily related to the 'right hand possessions'.
The 'right hand possessions' referred to in the Qur'an, which is specifically 'WAR CAPTIVES'. In essence, it elevated their status to that of wives. They would be assigned by the Ameer ul-Mu'mineen (clearly not going to be an unwise man). As they were not legally 'free women' they could not have any possessions, therefore they could not accept/possess a MAHR (dower) and thus could not be formally married. Thus, relationships between the 'owner' and the female war captive was legally that of 'possession' - remember, assigned by the Ameer... In turn, in theory, this made her a part of the family system and inshaAllah would have made it much easier for her. She would not be out on the streets, starving or having to do haram things to make money to eat, you know? Furthermore, if she had a child, that child would be entitled to inheritance, as with his other children, if any.
Of course, there were conditions in those circumstances that are pretty much non-existent now, thus meaning that this injunction is not appliccable in the current day.
For example, one obvious one, is that it has to have been a war of Jihad.
Another, is that social conditions would force her into committing haram acts to get by. Etc etc...
Tell me if you disagree with any of this so far?
