Commentary
There is now near unanimity among the People of Sunnah on the prohibition of (i) Mut'ah and (ii) the meat of the domesticated donkeys.
Note: The word Mut'ah (generally translated as temporary marriage) is an Arabic word meaning “usufruct” or “enjoyment”. It is a kind of marriage still legal among the Shi'ah!! To Shi'ah, it rather has a deeper religious connotation. Shi'ah scholars have defined Mut'ah as “a temporary marriage contracted for a fixed period in return for a compensation (to the woman)”. It is also sometimes translated as a “marriage of pleasure”.
