Let me answer you
بارك الله فيك, thanks for attempting to answer. Just so you know, this is a list of questions I posed to Ameen/Iceman on the big Mut'ah thread, so these questions are related to the conversations over there. For example:
1) Mut'ah is mustahab just as permanent marriage is mustahab.
This was already established, however, this is not the full fatwa as quoted by Ayatollah Khamini. The fatwa goes like this:
Q: If in the mukallaf’s country/city the common view considers mut‘ah marriage as a slander or accusation in such a way that a believer is accused of being not religious and having illegal relations or even despised if he/she does it, what is the ruling, then?
A: Although mut‘ah marriage is permissible, or rather mustahabb in our view, it is not obligatory in shar‘. Therefore, if it leads to conflict, accusation or vile consequences matters that are not acceptable by the Divine Legislator, it is rendered impermissible for the mukallaf to be indulged in such a marriage.
This the fatwa quoted by Ameen, notice, that the only condition he places on Mut'ah is if it "leads to ... vile consequences", i.e., the only condition is as long as it is not taboo.
2 and 3) These are intertwined, sometimes it is due to culture and sometimes it is because mut'ah should not be done under some circumstances and these circumstances are mentioned in the hadiths. If you want, I can post some hadiths applying some conditions.
They are not intertwined:
a) One is a questions about cultural taboos, the other is a request for a fatwa that restricts Mut'ah.
b) Which cultures do you know have ever considered Mut'ah a non-taboo issue other than pre-Islamic Arabs? (this is a VERY important point which I am guessing you and Ameen will completely ignore)
c) Please provide fatwas (for me) or ahadeeth (for Rationalist), as that was questions #3.
d) If you are able to provide any, can you tell me how reconcile them with the ahadeeth stating that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that doing Mut'ah four times will put you on the same status as him? Do you reconcile them? Do you reject one? What is your methodology for doing so?
4) - not directed at me -
Alhamdulilah you're not one of those "I can prove Mut'ah from Sunni narrations" type of guys. Ameen on that thread was unable to answer the questions like you are trying to, and instead would post narrations stating "Omar banned Mutah" every couple of pages.
5) - not directed at me -
While true, you did post in your other (unwise) thread about slavery that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would never allow something haram even though there is a consensus that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم "allowed" drinking alcohol, and "allowed" the changing of the adopted son's last name; yet those things were later made haram. This argument really works against any Shi'i.
6) It is not mustahab for a virgin sister to engage in mut'ah.
I was wondering why they were discouraging her from engaging with multiple Mut'ah partners. I didn't mention anything about virginity.
I don't know where you got that everyone was discouraging her, I just read the thread and some brothers did not shy away from answers.
Everyone could be discouraging her while simultaneously answering her... I don't see the contradiction. So the question still remains; why would you discourage someone from having more than one Mut'ah partner if doing it four times causes the person to be on the same status as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم? Have you heard of any acts in 12ersim with this level of reward (including permanent marriage?)
