Roshan Iqbal traces the intellectual legacy of the exegesis of
Qur'an 4:24, which is used as the proof text for the permissibility
of mut'a (temporary marriage) and asks if the use of verse 4.24 for
the permissibility of mut'a marriage is justified within the rules
and regulations of Qur'anic hermeneutics. Iqbal examines seventeen
Qur'an commentaries, the chronological span of which extends from
the first extant commentary to the present day in three major
Islamicate languages. Iqbal concludes that doctrinal self-identity,
rather than strictly philological analyses, shaped the
interpretation of this verse. As Western academia's first
comprehensive work concerning the intellectual history of mut'a
marriage and sexual ethics, this work illustrates the power of
sectarian influences on how scholars have interpreted verse 4:24.
This book is the only work in English that includes a plurality of
voices from minor schools (Ibadi, Ashari, Zaidi, and Ismaili)
largely neglected by Western scholars, alongside major schools, and
draws from all available sub-genres of exegesis. Further, by
revealing ambiguities in the interpretation of mut'a, this work
challenges accepted sexual ethics in Islamic thought-as presented
by most classical and many modern Muslim scholars-and thus opens up
space to theorize Islamic sexual ethics anew and contribute to this
crucial conversation from the perspective of Muslim feminism.
