1936. 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Shall I not tell you of a borrowed billy goat.' They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allāh!" He said: "He is Muhallil. May Allāh curse the Muhallil and the Muhallal lahu." (Hasan)

Arabic text

1936 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ اللَّيْثَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ مِشْرَحُ بْنُ هَاعَانَ، قَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالتَّيْسِ الْمُسْتَعَارِ» ، قَالُوا: بَلَى، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «هُوَ الْمُحَلِّلُ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُحَلِّلَ، وَالْمُحَلَّلَ لَهُ»

  1. 1

    [1] Muhallil is the man who marries a woman in order to divorce her, so that she can go back to her first husband. Muhallal lahu is the first husband for whom this is done.

Commentary

If a woman is divorced three times (the three divorces in accordance with the Shari'ah) and her husband wants to take her back, it is not allowed. If a second man marries her, and he has no intention to live a matrimonial or family life with her permanently; rather he intends to divorce her after marriage, and having sexual intercourse and this marriage is a trick, so that the former husband can remarry her, thus which was unlawful for the former husband will become lawful, this type of temporary marriage is called Halālāh, it is declared a cursed deed in this Hadith. The curse proves the prohibition of Halālāh, because a permissible deed never causes a curse. The person who performs Halālāh is named, in the Hadith, a billy goat or a male goat, which stresses the gravity of evil in this act.
