1122. Muḥammad bin Ka'b narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "Mut'ah was only during the beginning of Islām. A man would arrive in a land that he was not familiar with so he would marry a woman for the extent of time that he thought he would remain there. So his Mut'ah was upheld and his case was fine until the (following) Āyah was revealed: Except their wives or what their right hands possess.[1] Then every private part other than those became unlawful." (Da'if)
١١٢٢ - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ أَخُو قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا كَانَتِ الْمُتْعَةُ» فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَقْدَمُ الْبَلْدَةَ لَيْسَ لَهُ بِهَا مَعْرِفَةٌ، فَيَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَرَى أَنَّهُ يُقِيمُ، فَتَحْفَظُ لَهُ مَتَاعَهُ وَتُصْلِحُ لَهُ شَيْئَهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ {إِلا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ} قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَكُلُّ فَرْجٍ سِوَى هَذَيْنِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ.

The issue and its subject matter which Ibn Abbās has described, belongs to the pre-Islamic era, and after the advent of Islam, when the Islamic Divine Law was still being revealed to the Prophet ﷺ, this custom of the pre-Islamic era was still in existence in beginning of Islam. This issue of Mut'ah was totally terminated with the Verse of the Qur'an revealed in Makkah that only the wife and the slave girl are lawful for sexual intercourse. A woman under Mut'ah is neither a wife nor a slave girl, and it is agreed upon that she cannot be an heir.
