Salamah ibn al-Akwa‘ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) permitted temporary marriage in the year of Awtaas for three days, then prohibited it. Narrated by Muslim. In another narration by him from Sabrah al-Juhani, who was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he said: "O people, I had permitted you to enjoy women, but Allah has forbidden it until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever has any of them, let her go, and do not take back anything you gave them." Tirmidhi narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): Temporary marriage was only at the beginning of Islam. A man would arrive in a town where he had no acquaintance, so he would marry a woman for as long as he estimated he would stay, and she would guard his belongings and prepare his food until the verse was revealed: Or those your right hands possess [Al-Mu’minun: 1]. Ibn Abbas said: Every private part other than these is forbidden.
