Can I do Mutah with a Christian woman?

Community Answer

Mutah is just like normal marriage, and since the Muslim religion allows the marriage to a Christian woman, then Mutah to a Christian woman is accepted as well.

Question

What is considered subsistence?

Furqankaimkhani

Community Answer

Subsistence is the state of having what you need to stay alive, but no more. In Islam, it can be seen as living with minimal resources. While Islam does not require strict adherence to subsistence, examples from the lives of significant figures like the Last Prophet (PBUH) show elements of it.
