Being a practical, dutiful muslim and completing half ur deen certainbly does not mean we should be some form of spritual automatons! Whether you find love or commit through an arranged introduction its the development of those deep bonds and that intimate connection that will develop the friendship and love that will hold you together thru the difficult times.

This intimacy is most defintely a high form of ibadat but Br Abbas I totally refute the abuse of the Mutah in todays society! It is not a provision to allow short-term relations and its abuse is one of the embarrassing and disrespectful application of our laws!

Let us move forward with unanimous ijmah, (mutual consent,) and disregard what muslims (or even others?-) disagree with. I believe muslims would be much better off if we considered intimacy as the “highest ibadat”, which it is (.. the greatest good act). If the energetic “social contract” of Mutah empowers it, then so be it. ~AZ
