Pearl of Wisdom

was once asked a question by a man, to which he duly replied, and to which the man then retorted, 'The jurists do not say this!' The Imam said, 'Woe unto you! Have you ever seen a jurist?! A real jurist is a person who is ascetic from this world, who craves for the Hereafter, and strongly holds onto the tradition of the Prophet (SAWA).'

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as]
al-Kafi, v. 1, p. 70, no. 8

Question : #590 Category: Marriage - Muta'
Subject: Mutah with married woman
Question: I entered into temporary marriage with a Christian lady not knowing that she is separated from her husband and not officially divorced. She could not get divorce because in that country its very expensive court matter which she could not afford.
Is my marriage contract valid given that she is officially not divorced yet?
Answer: If she was considered married in her religion, then it is prohibited to marry her and she becomes permanently prohibited for you if the marriage is consummated.

If she was considered divorced in the Christian faith, then it is permissible to marry her.
