@Kain:
This is the reply from the late Sayyed Muhammed Hussein Fadlallah to a questions regarding the legitimasy of Muta'a:
Quote:
"When we study Mutaa in this context, we have to raise a question: Is a woman’s or a man’s sexual practice a shameful act that degrades him or her? Or it is a natural need that represents natural instinctive satisfaction like eating and drinking? It is normal that we can’t deem sex a negative value or a filthy or shameful act that humiliates woman’s character, otherwise, sex of permanent marriage will also be considered shameful.
So, sex in itself is not a disgraceful behavior, and Islam is trying to solve sexual problems in the same way it solves problems of eating and drinking and all matters concerning the physical instinctive elements."
