"Istima'tum" in Verse 4:24

[JayshAllah]

The Shia say:


The Verse of Mut'ah (4:24)

The most important verse of the Holy Qur'an which establishes the legitimacy of Mut'ah is verse 24 of Surat an-Nisa, known to all hadeeth commentators (Sunni and Shi'a) as "the verse of Mut'ah."


Response?

Is this an example of "recitation-established and ruling-abrogated"?

Does "istima'tum" really refer to Mutah?

the verse is talking about nikah sahih, not mut'ah. it just means that after you enjoyed your wife (entered her), pay the full mahr.

it basically means to benefit or to take pleasure from. Its not referrring to a marriage arranged for a fix period of time with the intention of divorce for a sum of moeny.
